Outrageous: 11Year Old Girl Has A Baby

A 28-year-old Alvin man remained in jail Friday, charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child after officials said DNA tests confirmed he fathered a baby with his 11-year-old stepdaughter.

“In our office, there is a sense of deep sorrow,” said Lisa Jolly, executive director of the Brazoria County Alliance for Children, a nonprofit that provides a range of services to abused children. “To the general population, it is very shocking.”

The stepfather, whom the Houston Chronicle is not identifying because it indirectly could identify the victim, was arrested Wednesday and remained in the Brazoria County Jail in lieu of $200,000 bail Friday, the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office said.

If convicted of the first-degree felony child sex charge, the stepfather faces five to 99 years in prison. He works as a driver and does not have a criminal record, investigators said.

According to Current.Com, sheriff's investigator Jeff Dandeneau said the man denied having sex with his stepdaughter and refused to provide a DNA sample.

Officials with Texas Child Protective Services said the 11-year-old and her 7-year-old sister were removed from the home in late November, about three weeks before she gave birth on Dec. 12. The girl's advanced pregnancy was noticed by teachers at her Alvin Independent School District elementary school in late September, and tests and medical examinations confirmed she was expecting.

“I can confirm we took her and her sibling into custody, and she is living with relatives,” said CPS spokeswoman Gwen Carter. “They're doing as best as can be expected. They're with some wonderful relatives who are protective and making sure they have everything they need.”

The young mother, her sister and the infant are living with an adult cousin, according to court papers.

Woman Kills Boyfriend By Sitting On Him!

A woman in Cleveland pleaded guilty to sitting on her 5'10, 120-pound boyfriend, Mikal Middleston-Bey, and killing him.

It happened back in August, during an altercation between the couple, who share three children together.

A police scale that went up to 350 pounds wasn't enough to accurately weigh the Cleveland woman, according to the affiliate.

Mia Landingham, 5'9, weighs more than 350 pound, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, during her sentencing, her boyfriend's family spoke out letting Landingham know the pain she has caused..

"I just want to let you know how much you have hurt us by taking Mikal away from us. You have devastated our family."

Landingham's public defender told the judge there was a long history of domestic abuse between his client and her late boyfriend.

He also pointed out she has no prior criminal record.

Landingham then told the judge she was sorry for squashing the father of her children.

"I just want to say that I am sincerely sorry about this situation. I wish I could take it back

Judge Carolyn Friedland sentenced Landingham to three years probation and 100 hours community service.

She was immediately released from jail.

While Middleton-Bey's family hoped Landingham would eventually be able to take part in her children's lives, they were surprised that she got no additional jail time.

"So basically you can say that I can go sit on somebody and get probation? I feel there wasn't no justice. My brother's gone and all she get is three years probation."
