Report: Joran van der Sloot to become a father behind bars
It appears Joran van der Sloot is about to add a new role to his résumé - father.
Van der Sloot became well-known around the world for the murder of Stephany Flores in Peru and for being arrested twice, but never charged, in the 2005 disappearance of U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway in Aruba.
Now the Dutch citizen may be preparing to welcome a new child into the world while he is serving 28 years in a Peruvian prison for Flores' death, according to the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, which says it confirmed the news over the phone with van der Sloot himself.
 2011: Video shows van der Sloot confessing that he killed woman
The mother, identified only as "Leidi" by the newspaper, met van der Sloot in prison and became pregnant after an unsupervised visit with the jailed 28-year-old, the paper said.
Van der Sloot's lawyer said he did not confirm the pregnancy, as stated by the newspaper. But Maximo Altez told Mayra Cuevas of "In Session" that Leidi is registered as van der Sloot’s girlfriend at Piedras Gordas Prison and they have had conjugal visits. Van der Sloot can receive visitors once or twice a month. Altez says he met Leidi in prison through another inmate.
This isn't the first time rumors have swirled around van der Sloot's love life since he's been in the spotlight. Earlier reports that he was getting married behind bars were knocked down as false.
Van der Sloot admitted to killing Flores, 21, in his Lima hotel room in 2010. The judges gave him a sentence two years short of the 30-year maximum. They ordered that he be expelled from Peru at the end of his sentence and required him to pay about $74,500 in reparations to Flores' relatives.
Van der Sloot confessed to robbery in addition to murder, admitting that he stole Flores' belongings, including more than $300 in local currency, credit cards and the victim's van as a means to leave the country. He fled to Chile and was arrested a few days later.
Another van der Sloot attorney, Jose Luis Jimenez, has said that his client was under special stress the day of the 2010 murder, which marked five years after Holloway, an 18-year-old from Alabama, disappeared while vacationing on Aruba.
Investigators have said they believe van der Sloot killed Flores after she found something related to the Holloway case on his computer while visiting him in his hotel room. The two met while van der Sloot was in Lima for a poker tournament.
He was caught in a taxi near the Chilean central coastal city of Vina del Mar.
Holloway's body has not been found, and no one has been charged in relation to the case in Aruba.
Natalee's mom to van der Sloot: 'I can't close the book'
In June 2010, a federal grand jury in Alabama indicted van der Sloot after allegations that he tried to extort $250,000 from Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway. Van der Sloot offered to provide what turned out to be bogus information about the whereabouts of Holloway's remains in exchange for the money, according to the indictment.
He was allegedly given $25,000, which authorities say he used to travel to Peru for the poker tournament.
If found guilty of extortion, he could be sentenced to 25 years in prison.

The guy's a psychpath, a double murderer, doing 28 years, unshaven, funny looking, and he's still getting more tail than I am.
I thought he was the one that was supposed to be getting impregnated in prison.
Need to make "girlfriend" ABORT immediately
He will be a father – but he won't be a Dad.
Big difference....
Demon spawn.
my only guess is that they allow women to visit is to keep the population from turning gay and raping each other. still it isnt right for him to be allowed to father a child. the woman must be as pshycho as the rest of them.
I guess the tax payers will pay for this kid.... Way to go
What kind of prison is he in? I suppose he orders gourmet dinners and wines and dines the girls.
based on how the story is written, it sounds like she is possibly in serving time as well. real winners these parents are going to be for their offspring.
She is not serving time...she was most likely visiting another inmate. They met thru another inmate.
she is serving inmates, not time.
I think she is just a prison groupie. It's not a mixed prison. Oddly enough, lots of women were writing him in prison.
Just a prison groupie. Not a mixed prison. Oddly enough he has a lot of women pen-pals.
Revolting!
You have to be Peruvian to become pregnant of a serial women killer ... it's just amazing.
I don't think I've ever seen a bigger transformation from good-looking boy to a twenty something man looking like a seriously evil incarnate...Joran wears his evil on his face...
Abort!!!
First abort the feotus if there really is one, then abort Van der Sloot. Only consolation is that he isn't using up US tax dollars in a Peruvian prison.
You got it right, I'd do it myself if I had a good coat hanger
They should have hung him long ago
you mean they should have hung him when he was not charged with any crime yet .. yeah . that's the law
He's not a father. He's the sperm donor.
Wow, a father. That's surprising, considering he probably spends most of his time in the female role now days.
