A CHILD ABUSER FROM OPENSHAW HAS BEEN GIVEN 25 YEARS FOR RAPING AND ASSAULTING TWO CHILDREN UNDER THIRTEEN

A man from Openshaw has been jailed for child sex offences.

In August 2019, police received a report that a young girl had been sexually assaulted by a man.

An investigation was launched and it was found that another young girl had also been abused.

Police arrested Isaac Andoh (25/07/76) of Toxteth Street.

During questioning, he denied raping or sexually assaulting either child.

Andoh was subsequently charged with two counts of raping a child under 13 and four counts of sexually assaulting a child under 13.

Andoh pleaded not guilty but, following an 11 day trial at Manchester Crown Court, a jury found him guilty of three counts of rape of a child under 13, three counts of assault by penetration of a child under 13, 10 counts of sexual assault of a child under 13 and one count of causing a child to watch a sexual act.

Today (Monday 20 January 2020), Andoh was sentenced at Manchester Crown Court to 25 years imprisonment.

Detective Constable Emma Cooper, of GMP’s City of Manchester division, said:

“Thanks to the brave testimony of the girls involved, we have brought the perpetrator of these sickening attacks to justice.

“The psychological impact of crimes such as this can be considerable but we hope  todays sentence brings some degree of closure now that Andoh is behind bars – where he belongs.

“We will always take reports of this kind of crime extremely seriously and we’d encourage anyone who feels they have been the victim of such offences to get in touch with police.”
