Days ago, in a panel discussion on Adom TV, Counsellor Lutterodt stated that every rape victim enjoys the act meaning people who are raped don’t endure the pain throughout the whole period because it always gets to a time when the start to enjoy themselves in the act.

Though the panellist firmly disagreed with him he stood still on his words continuing that “research from most individual rape victims proves that in the end they not only enjoy the act but end up having sexual relationships with the rapist“.

His comments sparked a serious buzz in the country with many people including Nana Abs Anamoah, Efia Odo, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah and some 10,500 Ghanaians calling Lutterodt out and asking that he stays banned from appearing on radio and Television.
