Sex with Evil Spirits Leads to Assault

Free Image hosting by ImageSnap(Hamilton, Ohio) A 57-year-old Ghanian caregiver in West Chester Township, Abena Afrakomah, has been accused of hitting and pinching a 74-year-old woman she provided care for.

Reportedly, Afrakomah had to punish the old woman for having sex with evil spirits.
The victim, Josephine Crawford, is unable to speak due to illness, but testified with help of a dry-erase board a during a May preliminary hearing in Middletown Municipal Court.

"She said the evil spirits were using me," Crawford wrote about Afrakomah.

Middleown police say the caretaker twisted Crawford's arm and pinched her on the cheeks and in the groin area.
Afrakomah faces trial on one count of fourth-degree felony assault on December 8th before Judge Keith Spaeth. She is currently free on bond.

Putting my multicultural hat on, shouldn't Afrakomah's case be an opportunity for Ohioans to show tolerance? It is probably quite appropriate to punish women in Ghana for having sex with evil spirits. Why don't we do the same here?
