A Bridgeport, Connecticut, man has been charged with sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl and getting her pregnant.
The Connecticut Post reports that 29-year-old William Mejia-Alas is being held in lieu of $100,000 bond on charges of first-degree sexual assault, third-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a child.
Authorities say the suspect and girl lived in the same apartment building.
