Altoona police say they're waiting for paternity test results before arresting anyone for raping a 12-year-old girl who gave birth earlier this year.

Police say the 20-year-old suspect has acknowledged having sex with the girl, but told police it was consensual. But police say the man has confided to someone else that he raped the girl.

A police affidavit says the girl told a Blair County Children and Youth caseworker that she was raped at home and named the suspect.

The affidavit was filed so police could get a search warrant to obtain two tubes of blood from the suspect for the paternity test.
