Ghanaian footballer Kwame Bonsu has thanked Ghanaians for a 'very moving' support during his difficult moments in Sweden.
The 23-year-old is back in his native Ghana after he was released from prison for rape and assault charges.
The former Gefle midfielder, had a brush with the law after being convicted for raping and assaulting his former Swedish wife.
The midfielder, who was an immigrant, spent a year in jail after being sentenced to two-and-half years behind bars.
He received widespread support from Ghanaians who consistently launched a campaign to get justice for him.
And he has expressed his profound gratitude to his compatriots for the show of love and support.
"I would to say a very thank you to all Ghanaians. I had much support from everybody and it meant a lot," he told Kuamsi-based Otec FM
"Hearing these kind of supports from outside and everything, without that it wouldn't be easy.I am really grateful . God bless each and everyone one of you who showed me support.
"It's really difficult to explain how I'm feeling at the moment. I am more than happy to be back home and enjoying more time with my family.
" Its priceless and it's means a lot. Most importantly, I am healthy and I thank God for that.
"I am always a positive guy. Those that are close to me, they know how I am. I see positive in every negative experiences.
"So that was the strength that I had. It kept me going. It's more about the mental toughness. I am really thankful to God that I'm back home and keeping well."
A Swedish woman named Maria Magnusson is believed to have framed up and decided to find a way to grab a final booty from the Ghanaian midfielder.
He first met her in 2014 when he was playing in the southern Swedish city of Mjölby. They married the following year.
A few months after the wedding he signed a transfer to the town of Gävle, located about 300 kilometres away from Mjölby.
The victim said the rape and beatings took place in the couple's apartment during an evening in November 2015 when he had refused to let her out.
Bonsu repeatedly denied the charges, but testimony from his wife's relatives led the court to believe the victim's version of events.
