‘He touched my private part, breasts: The hidden nightmare of rape perpetrated on 17-year-old JHS student by her uncle’

Regrettably, someone she hardly believes could behave in such an unjustly manner, the way he treated her. Who could have fathomed how a naïve and young girl like Cynthia Adu (not her real name), 17, could manage to outwit and extricate herself from a well-calculated trap of a ‘sexual predator’ in the name of her mother's kid brother (uncle)?.
