Ganta, Nimba County - Kelvin Davis, 39, is accused of sodomizing an eight-year old boy in Hope Village, Ganta Nimba County, and has been detained in Sanniquellie undergoing court trial. Madam Youhn also noted that even if a witness should report said matter, nobody will stand with you in court or before the Police for investigation. Following a visit to the Sanniquellie Central Prison, the correction officer informed journalists that they needed to get a permit from the court before seeing the perpetrator as the case is still pending. A reliable source who preferred not to be named also informed reporters that the victim and his parent had relocated to another county due to discrimination and stigma from the community members and friends. This story is published in collaboration with the UN Women Capacity Training on Harmful traditional practices.
