Ghana international Kingsley Sarfo will be spending the next two years and 8 months in Swedish prison for two child rape cases, a Malm\u00f6 District Court has ruled.<\/b><\/p>\n
He will also be deported from Sweden after serving his prison sentence.<\/p>\n
When the proceedings in Malm\u00f6 District Court ended on May 25, prosecutor Rikard Darell called for three years imprisonment and expulsion for Sarfo for two cases of rape against children that should have taken place in September 2016 and June 1, 2017 respectively.<\/p>\n
But when the verdict came\u00a0on Friday<\/span><\/span>, the announcement was that the district court passed the prosecutor\u2019s line by sentencing Kingsley Sarfo to two years and eight months in prison, expulsion as wekk as a 15,000 euros fine.<\/p>\n The prosecutor\u2019s main evidence against Sarfo were conversations on social media. Kingsley Sarfo denied authoring the messages in which his victim, a 14-year-old girl came clear with her age.<\/p>\n Despite knowing that, he met with her and had sex in a friend\u2019s apartment. The girl said that the intercourse was voluntary, but according to the district court, a 14-year-old cannot agree to have sex and therefore the football player is convicted.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is an adult man who has contacted a girl who was recently 14 years old and a week later, she met with her for the purpose of having sex. Under such circumstances, the crime cannot be regarded as less serious, the President of the Court wrote in a press release.<\/p>\n Sarfo denies crimes<\/b><\/p>\n The 23-year-old Malm\u00f6 FF star denied the crime but acknowledged that he has had sex with the 14-year-old girl at one point, but claimed that he thought she was older.<\/p>\n His defense attorney argued that they both had a love relationship. The prosecutor, on the other hand, said that the football player has only been looking for sex.<\/p>\n Malm\u00f6 to decide on Sarfo contract<\/b><\/p>\n The once-capped Black Stars midfielder joined Malm\u00f6 last summer. He was at Sirius when the two child rape cases occured.<\/p>\n After his arrest early February this year, Malm\u00f6 hinted they will be forced to cancel his contract should he be convicted.<\/p>\n In a new statement on the MFF website following the ruling, the club said:<\/p>\n \u201cMalm\u00f6 FF has heard the judgment. We will decide how the association will act in the matter when the Board has met at the beginning of next week. \u201c<\/p>\n It has been established that he has not been paid any salary since his imprisonment in February.<\/p>\n \u2013<\/p>\n Credit: Footy-ghana.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ghana international Kingsley Sarfo will be spending the next two years and 8 months in Swedish prison for two child rape cases, a Malm\u00f6 District Court has ruled.
