Earlier, the prosecutor, ASP Raji Akeem, told the court that the 15-year-old victim and the defendant resided in the same house.
The prosecutor alleged that the girl confided in one of her sisters that the defendant had sexually assaulted her in the last two years and threatened to kill her if she told anyone. (NAN).
