A Hispanic has been arrested on allegations that he had sex more than once with a 13-year-old girl, which led to her getting pregnant

Pedro Valladares Martinez, 27, has been charged with lewd and lascivious acts on a victim 12 to 16 years of age. Law enforcement was alerted about the two after Highlands County Courthouse employees called and said the girl's family was trying to get a marriage license for her and Martinez, according to the Lake Placid Police Department. "Interviews with the suspect and the victim found that sex occurred more than once at the victim's residence in Lake Placid, and resulted in the victim becoming pregnant," according to a press release.
