Boy, 15, charged over pregnant 11-year-old
A TEENAGE boy has been charged with statutory rape after it emerged a West Lothian girl became pregnant aged 11.
The girl, now aged 12, is set to become the UK's youngest mother when she gives birth in a month's time - four months before her 13th birthday.
Yesterday Lothian and Borders Police said a 15-year-old boy was scheduled to appear on 10 July at Edinburgh Sheriff Court, having already made a previous appearance.
News of the girl's pregnancy sparked concern about the state of sex education in Scotland and the pressure young people face in a highly sexualised society.
