A 38-year-old mason has been slapped with a 20-year jail term by a Bekwai Circuit Court for attempting to have anal sex with a 16-year-old boy at Adansi-Fomena in the Ashanti Region.
Collins Sarfo was convicted on his own plea of guilt to a charge of attempting to commit a criminal offence, to wit unnatural carnal knowledge by the court.
Police prosecutor Detective Sergeant Isaac Ofori-Mensah, told the court presided over by His Honour, Mark Diboro, the accused engaged the victim who had gone to help a relative at a public toilet and tried to lure him to have carnal knowledge through the anus.
