Exposed - Connecticut Pedophile Cover-up

Exposed - Connecticut Pedophile Cover-Up 

Two Bridgeport doctors Shah, and Lule did not report the sexual abuse of a ten year old girl to authorities. Instead they referred her to the Summit Women's Center for an abortion. She went to the Summit in March of 2002 and they failed to report the abuse of a very young minor to authorities, also. Thank God the girl did not have the abortion. It might have been because she was too far along (7 months pregnant). She had her baby in May 2002.

When cases like this are exposed by the media it helps put abortion providers on notice. Life Dynamics has been leading an investigation nationwide and exposing Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation for harboring pedophiles. If anyone knows of a minor participating in sexual activity, including sidewalk counselors at abortion mills, it should be reported to police for investigation.

DNA says man, 75, father of girl's baby
10-year-old's pregnancy spurs multiple charges

By DANIEL TEPFER

BRIDGEPORT - Jimmie Kave, 75, can add the role of "daddy" to his criminal accomplishments. Using DNA tests, the State Police Forensic Laboratory confirmed Wednesday that Kave is the father of an 11-year-old girl's baby. Kave's lawyer, Assistant Public Defender Miles Gerety, said he was both surprised and disappointed by the test results. "We will have to try and resolve this case short of trial," he said. The girl who was 10 at the time she was impregnated gave birth in May. Both she and her child are in custody of the state Department of Children and Families. Police said Kave has an extensive prior criminal record, including a 1984 conviction for sexual assault in New Haven. Kave is awaiting trial on six counts of first-degree sexual assault, eight counts of risk of injury to a minor and two counts of fourth-degree sexual assault. He has pleaded not guilty.

Police said Kave admitted to having a sexual relationship with the girl beginning when she was 10, but claimed she had enticed him. He said she would give him sex in exchange for new clothes and presents. Assistant State's Attorney Cornelius Kelly, who got a court order for a test to compare Kave's DNA with the baby's, previously said his case wasn't totally dependant on whether Kave was determined to be the baby's father. He was assigned to a murder case and unavailable for comment on the DNA results. Kave was arrested after the girl's mother complained March 22 to police that Kave had impregnated her daughter.

According to police Detective Benedetto Cortina Jr., the mother told police her daughter met Kave through an "Adopt-a-Godfather" program at Harborview Towers, a Bridgeport Housing Authority complex for senior citizens on East Washington Ave. She said her daughter would visit Kave at his apartment, and they would play games and go places together. Cortina said the girl later told him that Kave at first had touched her body under her clothing. Later, when she fell asleep in his apartment, she awakened to find Kave on top of her, having sexual intercourse with her. She said he told her not to tell anyone or she wouldn't be allowed to visit him any longer. Cortina said Kave came to police headquarters April 9 and gave a statement, insisting he never forced the girl to have sex with him. Instead, he said he bought her clothes and gifts, and she repaid him with sex. Last Christmas Eve, Kave told police, they returned to his apartment after buying about $100 worth of clothing for the girl. He said once they got home the girl approached him and began touching him in a sexual manner. This led to intercourse, according to his statement. Cortina said Kave told him that, if he were allowed, he would support the girl and their child. "He said his door is always open for the victim," the prosecutor said. Two city doctors, Mukeshkumar Shah and Ann Lule, who examined the girl and determined she was pregnant, were later charged with failing to report to authorities that the girl was abused. They are awaiting trial Nov. 22.Daniel Tepfer, who covers state courts and law enforcement issues, can be reached at 330-6308.

Editorial - Judge's ruling clear

Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Bozzuto merits praise for refusing to summarily dismiss charges against two Bridgeport doctors for failing to report to authorities the possible abuse of a pregnant 11-year-old girl. Drs. Mukeshkumar Shah and Ann Lule, who share a Bridgeport office, are each charged with two counts of failing to report suspected child abuse or neglect. While convictions would only carry a penalty of $500, the case threatens to set a dangerous precedent for doctors to not report similar incidents. The doctors' lawyer has argued that the state law mandating such reporting is vague. The Connecticut Medical Association supports that argument. It doesn't take a medical or law degree to realize that, when an 11-year-old is pregnant, there is a distinct possibility that it is the result of an abusive relationship. Fortunately, Judge Bozzuto displayed such common sense loud and clear. In ordering the case to go forward, she may help influence doctors to report such incidents in the future.
