FAT-TUM MENACE: Woman’s Kidnapped Baby And Pregnancy Were Fake, Says Police Minister

A woman who allegedly pretended to be pregnant and then claimed she had been kidnapped and the baby stolen faces up to four years in prison for lying.

The 30-year-old suspect – named as Gabriella Sevilla, from Lima, Peru – claimed she had been held hostage for two days.

But when she was released after being beaten and drugged, she claimed, the kidnappers kept her newborn baby.

Now she is facing jail after it emerged that she was never pregnant at all, according to local media.

Sevilla had held a baby shower, shown off her apparently blooming figure and even shown allegedly faked gynaecological reports.

But medics who have examined her since her release say she has not been pregnant and has not had a baby, according to Peru’s Interior Ministry.

She had announced her pregnancy a day after breaking up with her partner Ramiro Galvez.

Gabriella, however, continues to insist that she was pregnant and claims that she had an ultrasound to prove her case.

She told local media: “I have a record of her heartbeat and (an) ultrasound.

“How can they tell me that’s not real!”

Authorities have now requested that Gabriella undergo a series of psychological evaluations in order to determine whether or not she should be charged with Crimes against Public Faith (Delitos contra la Fe Publica), which carry a sentence of up to four years in jail.

Her former partner, Ramiro Galvez, has claimed that he discovered Gabriella had falsified medical documents related to her supposed pregnancy shortly after confronting her with his own doubts that had formed over the previous weeks before visiting her gynaecologist, named as Aristoteles Lojas.

Lojas told local media that Ramiro Gálvez “showed up at the office and told me: ‘Doctor, I have to tell you something personal.

“… I have a partner, Gabriela Sevilla.

“I broke up with her on 9th December, 2021, we had sex the day before.

“Then she came to me in February and she told me that she was pregnant.

“I was glad, doctor, because she was going to be a mother.

“But she was due to give birth in August and she still hasn’t given birth.”

This was before Ramiro reportedly handed over a pregnancy-related medical document belonging to her partner that appeared to have been signed by the official.

Lopez added: “It was a letterhead like the ones I use.

“She had falsified my stamp and there was another number where my code from the Medical College should have been.”

Officials have now requested that Gabriella make a formal police statement for the second time after the 30-year-old allegedly ignored an initial request, according to reports.
