A 52-year-old man, identified as Agya Owusu, has publicly apologised after being accused of engaging in a sexual relationship with a 28-year-old woman who was allegedly seeking accommodation under a sex-for-rent arrangement.
The allegation was made during a discussion on Sompa TV, where the young woman claimed she was exploited while desperately searching for a place to rent.
According to the woman, she met Agya Owusu while looking for a room. She alleged that Agya Owusu promised to give her a room rent-free on condition that she would sweep the house and later demanded sex before honouring the agreement.
“He told me he would give me the room for free after sleeping with me,” the woman alleged.
However, she said after the sexual encounter, Agya Owusu failed to give her the room as promised.
“After he slept with me, he refused to give me the room. I later pressured him and he took me to another man, telling him to give me the room and that I would pay later,” she stated.
The woman explained that she was eventually given a room after Agya Owusu allegedly assured the landlord that her rent would be paid within two months.
She further claimed that one month after moving in, the landlord informed her that Agya Owusu had told him she was unable to pay the rent and instructed that she should be evicted.
“The same Agya Owusu who slept with me told the landlord to evict me, even though he earlier said the room was his and promised to give it to me for free,” she added.

Agya Owusu, who admitted to having sex with the woman, denied owning the house, explaining that he is only a caretaker of the property.
Speaking on the programme, he apologised for his actions but insisted that there was a different agreement between them.
“I am sorry for what happened. Yes, I slept with her but the agreement was that we would also sell her phone to help pay the rent,” he claimed.
Agya Owusu, whose first child is 22 years old, said he took the woman to the landlord in good faith and promised that her rent would be paid later.
The matter has since escalated, with the woman facing eviction and demanding compensation, accusing Agya Owusu of deception and emotional distress.
