KUNKLETOWN, Pa. -- A 30-year old man has been charged with raping a 13-year-old neighbor who got pregnant and burying the body after the girl performed a home abortion.
Michael James Lisk was arrested after the girl was treated at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest for complications from the abortion.
The girl stated she tried to abort the fetus using a pencil, state police said.
The girl's actions made her violently ill for three days, and she went into contractions before delivering the baby at her home, police said.
The baby was placed in a plastic shopping bag, Lisk told police.
He admitted burying the body in woods near his home in Kunkletown in eastern Pennsylvania.
Lisk is charged with the rape of a child, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, concealing the death of a child and abuse of a corpse.
He is being held in lieu of $50,000 bail.
Police did not say how far along the pregnancy was, or whether the baby was born alive.
The Monroe County coroner's office has scheduled an autopsy for Tuesday.
