86-y-o paedo bribes 11-y-o victim

An 86-year-old paedophile accused of making an 11-year-old girl pregnant has tried to bribe her parents to drop the charges, it emerged today (wednesday).

The youngster - named only as Mihaela - has undergone an abortion while police in Nadlac, Romania, quiz the wealthy pensioner over child sex and rape charges.

"We are awaiting the results of DNA tests to prove the paternity," said a police spokesman.

But Romanian media this morning (weds) claimed that pervert Constantin Stefanov who bedded her is trying to buy the family's silence.

Local news TV network ProTV revealed that Mihaela had been offered cash to withdraw her allegations.

The girl became pregnant after her OAP neighbour plied her family with money to get close to her.
