(AP) City police have accused a 75-year-old man of impregnating a 10-year-old girl he met at his senior center. Jimmy Kave of Bridgeport admitted having sex with the girl several times, but claims she had enticed him, police said. He turned himself in Wednesday after learning there was a warrant for his arrest. The girl, now 11 and six months pregnant, has been removed from her home and taken into the custody by the state Department of Children and Families. The Connecticut Post reported that the girl apparently intends to have the baby. Her mother, who reported the assault to police, said her daughter met Kave through an ''Adopt-a-Godfather'' program at the Harborview Towers housing complex. Kave was charged with six counts of first-degree sexual assault, eight counts of risk of injury to a minor and two counts of fourth-degree sexual assault. Kave was arraigned Wednesday in Bridgeport Superior Court, where he was brought into the courtroom in handcuffs and leg shackles. Judge Thomas Upson set bond at $500,000 and scheduled his next court appearance for April 30. Kave has an extensive criminal record, including a 1984 sexual assault conviction in New Haven. Police allege that Kave began sexually assaulting the girl beginning in January 2001.
