How a 39-yr-old man was nearly lynched for peeping on over 100-yr-old naked woman

A 79-year-old woman in Accra Newtown is worried about the addiction of her ‘son’ who peeps on naked women for satisfaction.

Akua Oforiwaa who says she has also been a victim of the 39-year-old man’s weird behavior, told crimecheckghana.org that he was nearly lynched after he was caught peeping on an over 100-year-old woman while she was bathing.

“He is known in the area for peeping on naked women. He is always beaten when caught in the act, but that does not deter him. I could have lost him if not for a benevolent individual who intervened and saved him when he was being mobbed for peeping on an over 100-year-old woman,” she said.

She said every effort to find a solution for her ‘son’s’ addiction has not been successful.

According to her, the young man started the act at a tender age and had grown with it making it difficult for him to quit the bizarre attitude.

Madam Oforiwaa said the behavior has made it difficult for him to get married.

She said though he lived with a lady, he would leave her and go roaming for naked women to peep at for sexual gratification.

“I took him in when he was at age 7 when his parents could not take care of him. He has been in the act all these years. Even though he lives with a lady, he still goes out to peep naked women. He is satisfied with seeing a lady naked. He does not rape the victims,” she said.

Madam Oforiwaa who thought his ‘son’ had repented from the act was surprised to have heard that he peeped on her daughter who was bathing even after being subjected to severe beatings.

While many think the act stems from spiritual causes, a medical doctor at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Dr. Anas Adusei, has indicated that the condition is medical.

“It is a psychological disorder that makes people develop some weird sexual behaviours. The young man’s issue is a kind of maniac attitude that has given him that sexual appetite. It can be treated medically. He can be made to see a clinical psychologist and also be given medications. It is not a curse,” he clarified.

Dr. Adusei advised the public not to attribute problems as this to spiritual leanings but to seek immediate medical treatments.
