Slow Saturday Special: Brockton Man Impregnated Babysitter?

"A 54-year-old Brockton man charged with rape for allegedly impregnating a 12-year-old girl has been ordered held without bail. The Enterprise reported that a judge on Thursday ruled that Elbert Richardson was a dangerous person. Elbert pleaded not guilty last month to two counts of indecent assault on a child under 14 and aggravated rape of a child. The girl’s mother took her daughter to the hospital in November and was told the girl was eight months pregnant. Richardson’s wife has said a 13-year-old boy from the neighborhood is the father. Richardson’s lawyer said the entire case against his client is based on the girl’s own statements. Paternity tests are pending."
