A Ghanaian living in Canada has advised men relocating abroad to be cautious in their interactions with female minors.

According to the Canada-based Ghanaian, any wrong move by a man with a minor could land him in trouble with the constitution.

In a video on X, the young lady recounted how an international student allegedly found himself on the wrong side of the law because he interacted with a minor inappropriately.

"In Canada, you should not have inappropriate conversations with minors, or the law will deal with you. A Ghanaian student who travelled to Canada found himself in trouble because of such behaviours."

"The young man used to meet the girl at the bus station. He did not ask the girl's age and therefore did not know she was a minor. However, they started chatting often. The girl made several requests, which the young man granted. He even sent her explicit photos."

According to the lady, the minor's parents saw all the conversations and pictures on their daughter's phone when they seized her gadgets. The parents reported to the police, and the Ghanaian student was arrested for questioning.

The man explained that he did not know the girl was a minor, but the authorities did not accept his explanation.

"In this country, you can't be with a minor. Unlike in Ghana, where you may be freed, you will be dealt with here if found guilty. So, men take note and act right when you travel to Canada."

"Consent and age laws abroad are strict and non-negotiable. In places like Canada, anything involving a minor and text, images, or requests can trigger serious criminal charges, even if the person thought it was consensual or was misled online."

"I think what she is saying is very clear, that’s what's going on, and men need to think deeply before getting themselves in these kinds of situations."
