Girl, 11, pregnant after being ‘raped by predator, 41, in supermarket car park’
An 11-year-old girl is pregnant after being raped by a 41-year-old man in a supermarket car park, her family claims.
Cleto Montoya Rodas has been arrested and charged with first-degree rape and sexual battery, reports in the US say.
The child’s parents contacted police after the girl took a pregnancy test, which turned out to be positive, authorities reportedly said.
The girl is said to have told investigators that he raped her multiple times in December including in a Walmart Parking lot in Metairie, Louisiana.
Jefferson Parish Assistant District Attorney Tonia William said Rodas knew the victim's family, Nola.com reports.
Her mother reportedly repeatedly confronted him about the abuse and he admitted touching the girl with his hands and mouth but denied going any further.
On Friday, a Jefferson Parish judge set Rodas’ bond at $550,000. He’s also been barred from having any contact with the victim.
