(May 8, 2008)--A suspected illegal immigrant is under arrest in Idaho, charged in the rape of a 10-year-old girl who became pregnant.
Medical workers who reported the child was pregnant tipped police in St. Anthony in eastern Idaho to the case last month.
She gave birth two weeks ago.
Authorities provided no information about her or the newborn.
Thirty-seven-year-old Guadalupe Gutierre-Juarez is held on $250,000 bond, charged with one count of rape.
Police aren't saying whether there's a family connection but do say the prosecutor is considering additional charges.
A medical anthropologist in Washington says it is highly unusual for a 10-year-old to give birth, but not impossible because of earlier development.
