Family presses charges

[NewsWhore]

The family of a Dominican teenager has pressed charges against PRD deputy Julio Romero. Romero is accused of having sexual relations with the young woman when she was still under-age and is said to be the father of her 5-month old baby. Diario Libre says that Romero seduced the minor with the promise of a trip to Miami, an apartment and payment for her studies. Her parents say the deputy picked their daughter up from school to take her away for their rendezvous. The family found out about the affair when Yulimi Peguero was two months pregnant. Diario Libre also reports that on one occasion Peguero and her family went to court to try and get child support from Romero, but his wife attacked Peguero. Chamber of Deputies president Julio Cesar Valentin said that the CD would wait until the case was settled, but that Romero would be subject to sanctions. He didn't specify the nature or extent of the sanctions.
