Overview
- Prosecutors say Kwame Yeboah groomed the girl after first contacting her on a video chat service and then on Instagram in late 2025.
- In February 2026 Yeboah drove from Reading to Merseyside, took the child to isolated locations and raped her three times, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
- He pleaded guilty at Liverpool Crown Court on April 22 and was sentenced on June 24 to nine years and four months in prison with an extra year on licence.
- The court also imposed a 15‑year restraining order, lifetime registration on the sex offenders register, and Merseyside Police identified him using details he gave the victim.
- The victim has reported sleep, eating and concentration problems, the airline that employed Yeboah says it sacked him after being informed, and the case highlights risks of anonymous online contact and routes to reporting such abuse.
