11yr old Paraguayan girl who was raped by her step father gives birth

An 11 year old Paraguayan girl who was raped by her 42
year old step father identified as Gilberto Benitez Zárate,
gave birth to a baby girl at a Paraguayan hospital today
August 13th. Gilberto who is married to the girl's mother,
ran after what he did to the young girl was made pubic. He
was later arrested and on interrogation, denied raping the
girl and demanded a DNA test.
News of her rape gained international attention after she
was discovered in May to be pregnant at age 10 and was
refused to be granted an abortion by the Paraguyan
government
Paraguay has one of the strongest laws against abortion in
the world. Amnesty international and some other rights
organization had called for the termination of the pregnancy
of the little girl because of the psychological trauma she will
undergo but the Paraguayan government maintained their
stand, saying the 11 year old girl will be given the much
needed attention for her to give birth normally.
She gave birth by C-section to a girl that weighed 3.5 kilos
(eight pounds). They say she and her daughter are doing
very well medically.
