The writ further details that the incident occurred in the Kendeja Community, where the 11-Year-old child had lived with Mr. Sirleaf when he allegedly took advantage of her. When FPA arrived at the court, Mr. Sirleaf was seated on a bench, which is known as the “prisoner bench,” while people waited around for the judge to arrive. “I am accused of raping the child, based on a medical report done in 2018 and not 2016." How can a medical report done in 2018 be used for 2016?” he asked. The uncle of the victim, only identified as Hassan, further accused VO of deflowering the child when she was in his care.
