Report: Imprisoned killer Van der Sloot impregnates woman
AMSTERDAM (AP) - A newspaper said Monday that Joran van der Sloot, a Dutch man who is serving a 28-year-sentence for murdering a young Peruvian woman, has impregnated a woman while imprisoned in Lima.
The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf cited Van der Sloot's lawyer Maximo Altez as saying the pregnancy is past its third month, and Van der Sloot himself as having confirmed the news in a telephone call on Saturday.
"A test has proved" the pregnancy, the paper quoted Van der Sloot as saying.
The woman, identified by the paper only as "Leidi," was said to have become pregnant during an unsupervised visit with Van der Sloot. It was not clear whether that is allowed or possible under Peruvian prison rules.
Media in Peru last year identified a woman named Leydi Figueroa Uceda as Van der Sloot's girlfriend, and said they had conceived a son together, but she denied it. Altez then described the pair as "friends."
In De Telegraaf Van der Sloot said "Leidi" uses the birth control pill but had apparently forgotten to take it and she would not have an abortion due to her Catholic faith. He said he didn't have DNA proof the child is his, but he believes it to be.
Van der Sloot is a self-described liar, having repeatedly confessed to killing U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway, who disappeared in 2005, and later retracting the confessions. He is the last person known to have seen her alive.
He was convicted for the 2010 robbing and killing of Stephany Flores in a Lima hotel room after meeting her in a nearby casino. He is wanted by authorities in the U.S. for allegedly extorting money from the Holloway family on the promise of revealing the location of her body.
He could resist extradition to the United States, where is wanted in the Holloway case, if he obtains Peruvian nationality. That would be a possibility if he becomes the father of a Peruvian child or if he marries a Peruvian citizen.
Van der Sloot is appealing his conviction.

are you kidding , we should all go to prison , three squares drybed ,tv internet ,no bills and now laid too , go figure
Good luck birthing a child who has THOSE flippy ears...and murderous genes...
DONT BRING HIM TO THE US!!! he'll live in our prisons like a king and spend more tax money
Would not have an abortion because of her catholic faith!!! I CALL BS!!! Really! If she was so "catholic" she wouldn't be having sex! You know, since she isn't married!!!! What a load of bull!!!
 @Stephanie Don't you know you can pick and choose the parts of Catholicism you like, it's like a menu.  Ugh - I hate when these tramps all the sudden are so religious after the fact.
 @Stephanie haha, good catch! are you catholic?
What a stupid woman! Prison groupies are the lowest.
She's Gone With the Wind!!! Stupid a s s woman.
Kind puts a new meaning in to doing hard time....
 @Windowseat WHAMMY!
I rather doubt that this twit went so far as to have an amniocentesis done to confirm it's a boy and he's the father with the fact she is ONLY 3 months pregnant!  More junk to keep him out of trouble. Fry the trash already!
@MHunt that part of the story is about a child she already has.
Poor kid is doomed...
What woman is stupid enough to sleep with this idiot? Come on already!!! Have some self respect.
Oh good, passing on the psychopath's genes...shouldn't there be a law against this?
If any of Holoway's family cared, it would be very easy to have him whacked while in this prison. There's people there that would do it for $50.
Murdering sleezeball.
Jesse James Hollywood tried the same thing in Brazil. He knocked up a local to avoid extradition. It didn't work out for him.
He's in  Miguel Castro Castro prison. Supposed to be a high security prison but its like most prisons in south america, its run by the inmates. A lot of them even allow family members to live their with the prisoners.
"It was not clear whether that is allowed or possible under Peruvian prison rules", wouldn't the "possible" now be ruled IN?

And I agree with Wolfen, he's sneaky, but I wouldn't be so kind as to only call him a jackass.
He proves once again what a scum bag he is......wonder if he can have added time in jail for this stunt.
"He could resist extradition to the United States, where is wanted in the Holloway case, if he obtains Peruvian nationality. That would be a possibility if he becomes the father of a Peruvian child or if he marries a Peruvian citizen." Sneaky little jackass found a way to avoid being prosecuted for Natalee's murder. I hope Karma dishes up a big ol dose of whuparse on this twisted little monster.
"In De Telegraaf Van der Sloot said "Leidi" uses the birth control pill but had apparently forgotten to take it and she would not have an abortion due to her Catholic faith." Chicks crack me up. Her Catholic faith didnt stop her from banging a convicted murderer in his cell, but an abortion is just out of the question.
@thatsjarrod or out of wedlock.
 @thatsjarrod And the girlfriend using birth control is also against Catholic doctrine, but she didn't have any compunctions about that did she.
This is appalling. Prison officials allowing this murdering S.O.B. to have sex with his girlfriend is most disturbing. What he deserves is a bullet to the temple.
@maesmaze I am sure these types of visits are allowed all the time in some foreign prisons. His family disinherited him, so who will support this child.......GOVERNMENT!
I wouldn't put it past him to do something like this, whether it was part of a plan to stay in Peru or not. And if this is his child? I sure feel sorry for that baby who hadn't asked for any of this awful notoriety.
