Abbeville man accused of impregnating 10-year-old stepdaughter

The stepfather of a 10-year-old girl was charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor after she became pregnant, police said.

William Edward Ronca, 26, was being held Friday at the Abbeville County jail.

The girl's mother told The (Greenwood) Index-Journal that she had no idea her daughter was pregnant.

A school guidance counselor told the mother the girl was acting withdrawn and not participating at school. The girl was later taken to Abbeville County Memorial Hospital, where it was discovered she was about seven to eight months pregnant.

Warrants said Ronca had been having sex with the girl for about a year, and told her not to tell anyone.

Ronca has a child with the girl's mother, according to police reports. The couple is getting a divorce.

Ronca was arrested Tuesday.

Nothing like stereotyping, is there?
Had you clicked on the link, you would have known it was SC.

Thanks for the map, wardaddy, and the info on the hospital, WKB.

i agree this guy most likely has more victims.. i think sex offenders need to be put right into the general prison population and get just what they deserve by the other inmates. i dont want my tax dollars protecting them. i want them to get raped every single day and feel what these kids felt. i think if you rape a child under 11 yrs old you need life in jail, no parole . and we need to get rid of judges who dont do their job of protecting the public by letting these perverts out to repeat these crimes over and over.

"That means she may have been fertile at 9yrs of age?Isn't this atypical?
"

Not especially. These days, lots of girls enter puberty at age 9. Lots more than used to. Nobody really understands exactly why.

I have no doubt that it has to do with hormones in our food supply. Things like milk are just full of them.

I was 9 also and it was 35 yrs ago for me. I worried that my daughters would be the same or perhaps even earlier, but they were all around 11.

"I was 9 also and it was 35 yrs ago for me. I worried that my daughters would be the same or perhaps even earlier, but they were all around 11."

I was in the 5th grade in 1955, and there were several girls in my grade who showed signs of the onset of puberty. In 6th grade there were lots more. I remember, because that was about the time that I figured out that girls were very interesting, if frightening, creatures.

Somehow, I've never gotten over that early interest. [grin]

Ack! Don't feel sorry for me!

I'm a window now, or a guide through the portal. That is what I see my purpose in life being now. And it's a good thing :)

You may be in the minority on that first thought. Kids are hypersexualized at waaaay to young an age these days. I do believe that, with the sexual agenda being pushed so hard, more kids at a younger age are engaging in various forms of sex. I think an active sex life stimulates the sexual organs. And, yes, I do believe this is part of early menarche in some girls. Perhaps this little girl had never menstruated yet. Perhaps her step-father's actions stimulated the release of an egg. Maybe that's why it didn't occur to the Mom that she might be pregnant.

Well, at ten, I can tell you that I was not sexualized in any way - a wiry little tomboy who was just being a kid, when whammo! I got my period.

We had just had the Disney film in school (boys went to one room for theirs, girls to another for theirs), and I got my period about a week later. I figured at the time that's the way it worked - you saw the movie, and then you got your period.

You know, I did get over that, eventually, with the help of my first real girlfriend.

Hah! I'll bet you weren't the only one. Ah, those innocent days at the end of grammar school. We saw the same films in 5th grade. The girls movie was more interesting than the boy's movie, I'm pretty sure.

I've worked with kids a lot, usually as a volunteer at schools and libraries. My favorite age group is the 5th and 6th-graders. They're smart, but not totally messed up with puberty. My least favorite group is the middle-schoolers of 7th and 8th grade.

It was the step-father. Which means he comes a different shallow-end of the gene pool.

Put him in prison with the general population! Before they kill him, they will make him a little girl.

I was very fortunate that I had skipped a grade earlier in elementary school. When puberty hit, it hit like a Mack truck. Everything developed overnight, it seemed, and I grew seven inches taller in one year. Fortunately, I was in sixth grade, having skipped, so it was happening to other girls, too; if I had still been in fifth grade I would have been a freak. :)
