Ghanaian movie producer and actress, Ama K Abebrese has called Counselor Lutterodt a ‘rape apologist’ who justifies rape culture with shameful statements that belittle what rape survivors go through.

The self-acclaimed counselor was on Adom TV and during a discussion claimed rape victims enjoy the act based on accounts of victims who have spoken to him.

As an advocate against rape, Ama K Abebrese quickly took to social media to address Counselor Lutterodt’s comments.

She wrote:

“Every Rape Victim Enjoys the Act” says so called counsellor: He goes on to say that rape victims enjoy being raped regardless of their unwillingness in beginning of an act of rape. Something that any real professional counsellor and expert will discredit.

This is highly irresponsible and a very dangerous rhetoric that fuels sexual violence and rape culture. He claims he has spoken to ‘many rape victims’ and his assertions are based on that.
This man Lutterot is a rape apologist simple. One of the worse I have seen because he masquerades with the title of ‘counsellor’ to essentially justify and normalise rape culture with a reprehensible statement that ‘all victims of rape enjoy the act’.
This perpetuates victim-blaming and trivialises what rape survivors go through.”
