Ghanaian footballer Joseph Amoako has been sentenced to 2 years in prison for the rape of a 16-year-old minor in Sweden.
He was found guilty by Helsingborg’s district court for luring the teenager to his home for a party and taking advantage of her while she was asleep without consent.
Amoako joined Helsingborgs IF from Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko ahead of the 2022 season.
Initially, two African players from the team were investigated but one was released after questioning.
The Swedish club have terminated his contract following his conviction.
Amoako will be deported back to Ghana after serving the 24-month sentence.
