LETTER FROM KKD: I ACKNOWLEDGE I HAVE SINNED (READ)

Ghanaian ace broadcaster and showbiz icon Kwasi
Kyei Darkwah, a.k.a KKD, accused of raping a 19-
year-old girl, has issued a public apology for 'the
public ridicule and disgrace that have ensued by
reason of the fleeting pleasure of the flesh.'
KKD is expected to be set free after the alleged
rape victim, Ewureffe Orleans Thompson, wrote a
two-page letter to the state prosecutor and the
police to drop all charges and withdraw the case
from court.
The letter, dated 12th January 2015, was addressed
to the Director of Public Prosecutions at the
Attorney-General’s Department, and copied to the
Chief Justice, the Registrar of the High Court and
the top hierarchy of the Ghana Police service.
The 19-year-old cited the “media frenzy” that
followed the arrest of KKD and unceasing buzz and
social media posts which she described as
insensitive, for her decision.
Hours after the alleged victim's withdrawal of the
case was made public, KKD released a letter,
signed under his name, admitting he sinned and has
asked God for forgiveness.
In the statement, released Tuesday, January 13,
KKD, asked the media "to spare Ewureffe and our
respective families any further agonies."
KKD was arrested by the Airport Police on Saturday
December 27, 2014 after the 19-year-old lady,
Ewuraffe Orleans Thompson, accused him of raping
her in a hotel washroom.
Mr. Darkwah admitted having sex with the lady but
denied he forced her, saying she consented.
He was brought before the Kaneshie District
Magistrates' Court after he had been detained for
three days in police cells. The court refused him
bail and remanded him into police cells where he
has remained since.
