Boy, 15, is 'real dad' of baby that girl,13, claims was fathered by 10-year-old

A 15-year-old boy is under ‘house arrest’ as the suspected father of a schoolgirl’s unborn baby after she sensationally claimed she was impregnated by a 10-year-old.

The case received worldwide attention even though a doctor who examined the 10-year-old, named Ivan (Vanya), said he was too sexually immature to be a father.

The girl - Darya (Dasha) - had claimed on prime-time Russian national TV last month that only Ivan could have made her pregnant when she was 13.

It has now emerged that a 15-year-old boy is suspected of being the father after Russian police became involved in the case.

Darya’s family has made a statement to police involving the older boy, said the pro-Kremlin newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, citing its own sources.

The 15-year-old was identified as Stepan, but the paper acknowledged this was not his real name.

He was reported to be under house arrest in the Krasnoyarsk region of Siberia.

The age of consent in Russia is 16.

Neither the police nor Russia’s Investigative Committee have commented on the report which has been widely reported in the country.

Since the case broke, the girl - now 14 - has gone on to secure popularity as a would-be “influencer” on Instagram, where she has 89,000 flowers, and TikTok.

She tagged her posts with the words ‘Pregnant at 13’.
