During the course of the examination, the victim and her foster mother were told the victim was about 11 weeks pregnant, the affidavit states.
When the victim returned home, she confessed to her foster mother Mountford assaulted her before the current school year began the affidavit states.
Mountford also confessed to the victim’s foster mother that “he had sex with … one time at their house in their bedroom on their bed,” the affidavit states.
Nick Lelecas, assistant district attorney declined to comment on the case citing the victim is a juvenile, when asked if the victim had been removed the foster home.
