The family took the girl to a hospital where an ultrasound revealed the 11-year-old was seven months pregnant. The girl was then referred to the district women’s hospital where she delivered a premature baby on Thursday.

According to the doctors, the condition of the girl is critical due to heavy blooding and tender age, adding that fortunately the girl’s health is improving.

According to the victim’s brother, the 31-year-old man began the sexual abuse six months ago by inviting the girl to his home offering fruit. After she came home, the man rapped her for the first time and then continued the sexual exploitation by blackmailing her with a recorded video and threatening to kill her family if she revealed the abuse she went through.
