Missouri girl, 11, gives birth in bathtub, police say; 3 relatives charged

Three family members of an 11-year-old Missouri girl who gave 
birth in a bathtub earlier this month after allegedly being 
raped by a teenage boy are facing multiple criminal charges.

A man and woman are each charged with child endangerment and a 
17-year-old boy faces charges of incest, statutory rape and 
statutory sodomy of a child younger than 12. All live in the St. 
Louis suburb of St. Charles.

The woman is also accused of failing to provide medical care to 
the child upon giving birth.

YEARS LATER: 'HE GOT INTO THAT SLEEPING BAG'

The man brought the baby to St. Joseph's Medical Center about an 
hour after its birth on Feb. 11, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch 
reported Wednesday. It was still attached to the umbilical cord 
and placenta with a body temperature of 90 degrees, which 
prompted the police to open an investigation.

Authorities said the man was in the U.S. illegally and had 
previously been deported.

He initially said he didn't know the girl before admitting they 
were related, according to charging documents. He denied knowing 
she was pregnant or was being sexually abused until she gave 
birth.

The teen told police he had sex with the girl around 100 times 
but did not know she was pregnant.

The woman and 17-year-old boy were ordered to remain in custody 
on $10,000 and $25,000 bonds, respectively. Bail for the man was 
set at $10,000, cash only.
