A Guatemalan man who prosecutors say impregnated his 12-year-old daughter five years ago and fled the country when Redwood City police contacted by abortion providers asked him for a DNA sample was charged with several felonies after being extradited back to San Mateo County.

The 39-year-old man, who the Daily Journal is not naming as not to identify his daughter, is charged with three counts of lewd acts on a child under 14, three counts of incest and a misdemeanor charge of destroying evidence.

Police interviewed him about his daughter’s pregnancy in December 2007 after he brought the girl to San Mateo Medical Center for an abortion. Hospital staff contacted authorities who were told by both him and the girl that a fellow 12-year-old named “Giovanni” was the father. When police asked for a genetic sample to test, the father said he wanted time to consider the request and the next day fled back to Guatemala, according to prosecutors.

The girl later told police her father had impregnated her and she had made up the story of the boy to protect him and not upset her mother. Redwood City police ultimately found the father in Guatemala and had him deported back for arrest and prosecution.

In court Thursday, the father asked for a court-appointed attorney and delayed entering a plea. He returns to court Dec. 20 to identify his lawyer and remains in custody on $1 million bail.
