Television presenter, producer and actress, Ama Konadu Abebrese has lambasted Counselor George Lutterodt for claiming that rape victims enjoy the act regardless of their unwillingness at the beginning of the act.

Not long ago, the controversial Counsellor declared on Adom TV in the course of an intense argument that rape victims enjoy the act.

Strongly opposing Counselor Lutterodt’s statement,  Ama K Abebrese took to her official Instagram page to write a long essay directed at the Counselor. She called Counsellor Lutterodt a “self-professed counsellor” and considers what the counsellor said as highly irresponsible and dangerous as it would increase sexual violence and the act of rape in our society.

She further quizzed Counsellor Lutterodt on how a 6 year old girl enjoys being raped and how a 9 year old boy has fun being sexually assaulted. She as well asked him how a 21 year old or even a 70-year-old woman enjoys being raped. Moving on, she mentioned that the Counsellor is simply a rape apologist or advocate.

Ama stated that the man hides behind the Counsellor tittle just to justify and normalize the rape culture with the statement that “all rape victims enjoy the act”. She went on to say that, his comments are disgraceful especially at this time where everyone is advocating for justice for victims of rape.

She finalized by praising the other guest present on the show in the person of Rev. D. Y Donkoh of Royal Believers Ministry. Though she could not identify him  at the time of writing, she applauded him for countering the assertions by the Counsellor.

This is a quote from a self professed ‘counsellor’ George Lutterodt from Ghana on a television show yesterday. (The quote is around the 2:13 mark in the video) He goes on to say that rape victims enjoy being raped regardless of their unwillingness in beginning of an act of rape. Something that any real professional counsellor and expert will discredit. This is highly irresponsible and a very dangerous rhetoric that fuels sexual violence and rape culture. He claims he has spoken to ‘many rape victims’ and his assertions are based on that. Well, Lutterot, tell me how much a 6 year girl enjoys the act of being raped? Or how a 9 years boy enjoys being sexually assaulted? Or how a 21 year old enjoys being held down against her will and raped by a group of guys? Or how a 70 year old woman enjoys being raped? These are just some of the real cases of actual rape victims. This man Lutterot is a rape apologist simple. One of the worse I have seen because he masquerades with the title of ‘counsellor’ to essentially justify and normalise rape culture with a reprehensible statement that ‘all victims of rape enjoy the act’. This perpetuates victim blaming and trivialises what rape survivors go through. His comments are deplorable, especially at a time in Ghana, and beyond when so many people are advocating for victims of rape and sexual assault in their fight for justice. Over 10,000 people have signed and continue to sign the petition to the President of Ghana to abolish fees medical examination for victims. http://chng.it/j6wX9TpF PS. I don’t know who the other gentleman in the video is, but I applaud him for countering the assertions made by that man. Any media organisation that continues to give this man a platform to spew such misinformation is culpable. The worst thing is that he is not even a registered counsellor yet these media organisation in Ghana continue to give him a platform. This has to stop. Video Source: Adomonline
