According to a report, an eleven-year-old girl in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district in North Rhine-Westphalia has given birth to a child. The public prosecutor’s office is now investigating – because the child’s father is said to be the eleven-year-old’s stepfather.

The “Siegener Zeitung” reports on the case. According to the newspaper, the public prosecutor’s office in Siegen confirmed that “an investigation has been initiated on suspicion of sexual assault of an eleven-year-old child.” Mother and daughter are currently in the care of the youth welfare office.

A spokesman for the public prosecutor’s office told the newspaper that mother and daughter were “doing well.” According to the newspaper, the eleven-year-old herself said that there had been no sexual intercourse with her stepfather. She had taken sperm from a condom used by the man and inserted it into herself because she wanted to have a child with him. The investigators are skeptical about such a case, but they cannot completely rule it out.

The eleven-year-old continued to go to school despite being pregnant and tried to hide her pregnancy by wearing loose clothes. But eventually teachers noticed something and informed the authorities. That’s how the case came to light.
