Former student of University of Cape Coast, Nana Abena Korkor Addo has said she had her fair offer of sex for grades during her four year study at the institution.

According to her, a lecturer threatened to fail her after he persistently tried to get her to have sex with him.

Wading in on the debate of sex for grades, Abena Korkor in an interview indicated that the said lecturer, stated that she could have kowtowed to the demand if she doubted her ability to excel in the examination – stressing that persons who succumb are either not sure of their prowess or lack the confidence to reject the offer.

“I remember when I went to UCC, my first year. I met a gentleman who was telling me he was a lecturer. I didn’t have problems with my grades but when he tried and didn’t get the opportunity, he actually told me one time that, ‘when you come back to school next semester and you realize your grade has been tempered with, that is when you will see my worth’,” she narrated.

“It’s something that goes on. And there are people who do not have anybody to speak to. There are people who get traumatized. There are women who love sex and all but when you’re a woman and a man you’re not attracted to, you do not love, you don’t want touching you, actually touches you and forcibly has sex with you, it makes you feel powerless. It’s traumatizing. You’ll live with that for the rest of your life. If you’re not fortunate to get therapy somewhere along the line, you become a different person.

“There are people who may be contemplating suicide because they feel trapped… When I go back to my first year in UCC and picture the situation, if I wasn’t somebody who was already good in class, and if I didn’t have university experience already, I would have felt helpless. I’ll just succumb to the man’s wishes and I’ll be suffering,” she added.

Abena Korkor became an instant hit on social media in February 2015 when her leaked naked videos went viral on social media.

In the video, Abena was seen doing a ‘strip tease’ in the presence of a female friend.
