A 17-year-old St. Louis, Missouri teenager admitted to raping his 11-year-old relative around 100 times after she gave birth to his baby in a bathtub. 

The authorities had been tipped off about the alleged abuse that had taken place at the hands of Norvin Leonidas Lopez-Cante. The accused's father had brought an infant to the St. Joseph Hospital on Tuesday and had told the cops that someone had left a child on his front porch, KSDK-TV reported. 

The infant still had its umbilical cord and placenta attached. The child also had a body temperature of around 90 degrees. On Thursday, the authorities went to visit the father Francisco Javier Gonzalez-Lopez who told them that his teenage son was the father of the child. 

He also shared that their 11-year-old relative was the mother of the baby. He also claimed he had no knowledge of the abuse or the pregnancy until the girl had given birth. Lopez-Cante eventually admitted to the cops that he had sex with the girl around twice a week which totaled to around 100 times. 

The authorities arrested both the father and the son. Lopez-Cante was charged with first-degree statutory rape, sodomy, and incest. His bond was set at $25,000 cash only while Gonzalez-Lopez was charged with endangering the welfare of a child. His bond was set at around  $10,000 cash. It is not clear how exactly the accused teenager and his father are related to the victim. 

As per court papers, he was in the country illegally and had been previously deported.

According to the  Child Center Inc., the Child Advocacy Center of Northeast Missouri, Inc. around 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused before they turn 18. 90% of the time the abuse takes place at the hands of someone that the child knows or has a relationship with.
