Piesie’s case was previously adjourned from July 16, 2024, when he was initially denied bail due to concerns about potential interference with the investigation. The trial is now scheduled to resume on August 22, 2024.
The charges stem from a video broadcast on Sompa FM on July 5, 2024, in which Piesie claimed to have had multiple sexual encounters with a 14-year-old named Maame Yeboah.
Investigations by the Bono Regional Police Command and the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) led to Piesie’s arrest.
Piesie admitted to making the statement but claimed it was intended as a public awareness scenario on the “Law of Karma.” Investigations are ongoing.
