Girl, 11, gives birth; stepdad charged

An 11-year-old Paraguayan girl who had been denied an abortion has given birth.

The birth was the culmination of a case that put a spotlight on child rape in the poor South American nation and drew criticism from human rights groups.

Elizabeth Torales, a lawyer for the girl's mother, said the girl gave birth on Thursday to a daughter at a Red Cross hospital in Asuncion, Paraguay's capital. Torales said doctors told her there were no complications.
