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.

Just what the world needs – another van der sloot. This poor kid is doomed from the start. What kind of woman would want a child by this monster.
hope it's a girl and when she grows up she dates someone just like her daddy
why would you even think to wish something like that on an innocent child
You would seriously hope that an innocent girl be murdered? We do not control who are parents are.
GM 1953: The child would not necessarily be innocent if she was that of a murderer. The spirit would still be guilty until she rebuked his spirit and accepted salvation from a higher power, otherwise, the daughter would be just a common gutter tramp, wicked witch from hell. It's too bad this evil creature was allowed to copulate and create an extension of himself.
Im surprised none of you have addressed the elephant in the room. This woman met him AFTER he went in to prison. And still slept with him lol. Knowing what he was in prison for. Women generally really do not like nice guys lol...
This guy is just NASTY and the woman who slept with him has got to be NASTY too.
Yep, got to be total trash.
Poorly written story, Vander Sloot now has a chance to stay in Peru after his release from prison. Most inmates do only 1/2 their original sentence in this country...so he can be out in a dozen years from now. As a father of a baby born in Peru he can avoid be extradited to face justice in the USA.
How does that work
How did he get conjugal visits w/a woman who is merely his girlfriend–not even a wife, and someone he met after being locked up in prison? If I have my facts right, here in the USA, prisoners have to be married to the woman they are allow to have these visits with. And they have to have a recod of very good behavior in order to earn this priviledge.
That is so sad.
Conjugal visits? Allowed to breed? Our world really is crazy!!
This creep is a monster!! Extinguish him now!! The last thing the world needs is another Van der Sloot!!
What a heart-warming story! The new generation of murderous psychos is due within a few months!
What kind of person would want to date a confessed murderer? and to have a child with them? It boggles the mind. My greatest concern, however, is for the child – so unfortunate to have the parents it will have.
Sounds like she was visiting another inmate. So she likes very bad men. Not unusual Scott Peterson is
still getting marriage proposals. There are some very stupid women in this world.
Why is this criminal/jerk/loser allowed to enjoy hetro s3x? The only s3x he should be getting is from behind...his.
They sure do know how to pick the worst pictures for him.
All the world needs is another Sloot head.
Castrate him now. He'll undoubtedly be released at some point in time. Don't give him the chance to breed again, through any means.
