BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) _ An 11-year-old city girl who police said was impregnated by a 75-year-old man has given birth.
A state Department of Children and Families spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday that the girl is now a mother. The girl and the baby are both in DCF custody.
``We will continue to be involved with her and the baby. Both are safe, spokeswoman Joan Gurski said.
Jimmy Kave, accused of fathering the child, is charged with six counts of first-degree sexual assault, eight counts of risk of injury to a minor and two counts of sexual assault in the fourth degree.
Police said Kave, who was arrested April 17, admitted having sex on several occasions with the girl beginning in January 2001, but claimed she had enticed him. Kave met the girl through an ``Adopt-A-Godparent'' program at his Bridgeport housing complex.
Authorities also charged the girl's doctors with failing to report the abuse to authorities when they learned she was pregnant. Attorneys for Drs. Mukesh Shah and Ann Lule have asked a judge to dismiss those charges, claiming there is insufficient evidence.

No, I am not excusing either of the two involved in this mess. Just look upon me as an impartial observer of this event. I see a lot of things going on in this country, and I can only shake my head over much of it.
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE??????????????????
Stay frosty, my friend! :-)
And his confession wasn't sufficient?
