Dramatic twist in defilement trial: Teenager reveals she lied about age

A 15-year-old girl has stunned the prosecution by admitting she lied about her age to pursue a relationship with 24-year-old Clifford Addo.

The pregnant teenager claimed she told Addo she was 19 years old.

Addo has taken responsibility for her pregnancy and visited her mother with his family.

The case has sparked debate about the merit of the charges.

Some lawyers argue it's a waste of resources, questioning the legal foundation of the case.

The trial has been adjourned until March 24, 2025, for a Case Management Conference.

Addo has been granted bail with strict conditions.
