A 41-year-old man is now facing multiple felony charges after raping and impregnating a 13-year-old girl, according to the West Palm Beach Police Department.
According to reports, Jean Evenel Innocent was arrested earlier this month after it was discovered that the girl was pregnant.
According to an arrest report, the girl showed up at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach complaining of abdominal pain.
A pregnancy test later revealed that the teen was roughly six weeks pregnant, the report states.

The girl told hospital staff that Innocent had impregnated her.
Detective Brittany Tatum said that the victim told investigators that she had been raped by Innocent multiple times since she had abdominal surgery in July 2020.
In November, Tatum wrote that Innocent entered the girl’s room, pulled down her pants, told her “give me 10 minutes,” and began raping her.
Police said Innocent stopped and said “never mind” after the girl said “no” and cried.
During a controlled call recorded by police, the victim told Innocent that she had been “throwing up and the hospital was going to give her a pregnancy test,” the report states.
Innocent “told her to say no and began making up a story to tell about a relationship with a boy named ‘Semen,’” Tatum wrote. “He told the victim if she tells he will go to jail.”
Innocent later told detectives that it was “voodoo” that caused him to commit the crime.
Innocent faces two counts of sexual battery with a child, one count of incest, and one count of impregnation of a child, all felonies.
