Kwadwo Ayaama, was said to have inserted his right little finger into the vigina of a six-year-old girl at Asuhyiae, near Tepa in the Ahafo Ano North District.
He pleaded guilty and was convicted on his own plea.
Police Chief Inspector Jonas Newlove Agyei told the court presided by Ms. Lily Amoah-Kankam that the victim was a kindergarten one pupil who stayed with her parents at Asuhyiae.
The convict was a farm labourer who often visited the house of the victim and her parents.
He said on October 27, this year, the convict visited the house of the victim and asked her to accompany him to a nearby house to collect yam.
Chief Inspector Agyei said on their way the convict leaned her against a wall and inserted his right little finger into her vagina and warned her not to tell anyone.

A report was made to the Tepa police and the convict was arrested.
Chief Inspector Agyei said the convict admitted the offence in his caution statement and he was therefore, charged and brought before the court.
