Homosexual sex worker names Bank
Managers, Policemen, others as clients
By Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh,

Accra, Dec 20, Ghanadot - Christian Boateng,
the 20-year-old male sex worker who was last
week Thursday arrested by the Dansoman
police for operating as a female sex worker,
has disclosed that some of his clients are
prominent bank mangers, policemen,
businessmen and accountants working in the
Kumasi metropolis.
Christian who usually dressed up as a female
to lure his clients pleaded with some
journalists to keep the identities of the
clients anonymous, because if their
identities and work places are disclosed,
the scandal will become a big disgrace to
them, destroy their families and elicit
public outrage against them.
Christian Boateng said any
time he was in his female dress and
approached by these sex-hungry clients, “I
immediately tell you in the face that I’m
not a woman but a man who is willing to
engage in anal sex if that is what you
like.”
He told a team of journalists that will this
information the client, if he is willing,
agrees to go with him to a hotel of his
choice to have anal sex with him at the cost
of GH¢20 for a full-night service and GH¢10
for a half-night otherwise known as ‘short
time.’
The suspect who spoke in a rather cheerful
and relaxed mood at the Dansoman Police
Station explained that he became a male sex
worker in 2005 using a female style of
dressing as his modus operandi because such
a guise was enticing and a good marketing
strategy.
As to whether he was aware of the prevalence
of HIV/AIDS, he replied: “I am fully aware
and that is why I always demand that a
client wears a condom before sex,” he said,
adding that, “no condom, no sex.”
Christian who uses various female names such
as Jacqueline, Ama Pokuwaa, Serwaa and
Angela, explained that he had not had any
health problem with his rectum all this
while he has been practicing homosexuality
because of the use of condom to reduce
friction and prevent the exchange of body
fluids, particularly semen.
According to the suspect, the last straw
that broke the camel’s back last week
Thursday and landed him in the grips of the
police was a single glass of coca cola he
asked his client to buy for him at a
drinking spot at Dansoman Sahara, Accra,
where they both went to take in some alcohol
to charge up for the sex act.
“I remember my client pouring the coca cola
into a glass with the ice cubes to make it
cold but I did not know it had been laced
with alcohol which knocked me off into
sleep, rendering me helpless.”
According to him, he ended up at the
client’s residence where he was given a
mattress to sleep on in the hall as he
waited for “action” to begin.
“Unfortunately, however, my client who was
in a drunken stupor came to sleep by me but
later left without doing anything. It was
rather his younger brother who later came to
lie down by me and was trying to have sex
with me thinking I was a woman.
However, I insisted that as a
prostitute I wanted a down-payment of GH¢10
before anything could take place, but the
brother offer me GH¢5.00 which I refused and
even told him he was not of my class.
“As we haggled over it, I lapsed into
slumber, and this younger brother took
advantage to remove my female dress only to
discover that I was not a woman indeed but a
man with two balls between my thighs. He
woke me up and asked me to tell him the
truth about my gender or else hell would
break lose.
“True to his words he
raised an alarm after making several calls
to his friends. This attracted a large crowd
at about 2:30am at Sahara Dansoman where a
police patrol car pulled up and arrested me
in the process. I was taken to the Dansoman
Police Station for interrogation,” he said.
Meanwhile the Dansoman District Police
Commander, Police Assistant Superintendent
(ASP) Wilson Aniagye, has warned men who
patronise the services of sex workers not to
make the mistake of taking such sex workers
to their homes since some of them could be
criminals parading as females soliciting for
sex.
“To your surprise, these criminals may pull
a knife or any offensive weapon to either
kill or rob you of your money and other
valuables,” he said.
ASP Aniagye said as Christmas
was fast approaching, criminals were
adopting subtle methods to prey on innocent
and unsuspecting people. He said Christian
Boateng would be charged under Section 29
(Act 60) of the criminal code that has it
that any person who persistently solicits in
any public place or in sight of any public
places shall be liable to a fine. On a
second offence, he shall be guilty of
misdemeanor or serve a jail term of not more
than six months.
The suspect would appear before the James
Town Magistrate court on December 21. ASP
Aniagye disclosed that the suspect would
help the police to arrest the male client
who caused his arrest.
