MOUNT CLEMENS (WWJ) - The DNA results are in and a trial date has been set for a Mount Clemens man accused of impregnating his girlfriend’s 11-year-old daughter.

The 28-year-old Trevaun Cortez Brooks faces first and second-degree criminal sex charges after Macomb County prosecutors say his DNA is a positive match with the baby born to the girl in August.

Brooks is accused of having sex with the child, his girlfriend’s daughter, last year while he was living with them.  Brooks also worked briefly as a janitor at the girl’s charter school before his arrest in September.

Brook’s attorney Chris Aiello said he will review the DNA findings and discuss defense options with his client, who faces life in prison if convicted.

“If he told me anything, you know, I can’t discuss that with you. But, as you know, he’s still innocent and we are maintaining a defense on his behalf,” Aiello said. “He’s distraught, of course. He’s distraught, over this. He’s in jail. Nobody wants to be in jail, and this is a very difficult time for him.”

Aiello said no plea deal has been discussed at this time.

The trail is set to begin February 28.

The now 12-year-old girl and the baby are now under the care of state protection services.

    My opinion wit this is weather she kept the baby or not he deserve 2 rot n jail then hell! But who knows she probably liked it just as much as him (that still don’t give him a reason 2 sleep wit her) If she was my child she wouldve got an abortion. She’s a baby. What does she no bout raise n a baby! She can’t even take care of herself. She’s still wet behind the ears. Smh. It was a way 4 the motha 2have her 5mins of fame! And really what/where was thhe motha @ during this? She’s held responsible just as much as his nasty ass!

      December,

      “But who knows she probably liked it just as much as him” is quite a large assumption. Don’t you think? She is 11!

    Facts on the baby
    Babies of teenage mothers are more likely to die in the first year of life than babies of women in their twenties and thirties. The risk is highest for babies of mothers under age 15.

    Teenage mothers are more likely to have a low-birth weight baby. Most low-birth weight babies are born prematurely. The earlier a baby is born, the less he or she is likely to weigh. The risk is higher for younger mothers.

    Babies who are premature and low-birth weight may have organs that are not fully developed. This can lead to breathing problems, such as respiratory distress syndrome, bleeding in the brain, vision loss and serious intestinal problems.

    Very low-birth weight babies (less than 3 1/3 pounds) are more than 100 times as likely to die, and moderately low-birth weight babies (between 3 1/3 and 5½ pounds) are more than 5 times as likely to die, in their first year of life than normal-weight babies.

    Facts on the mother
    Young mothers are more likely to experience pregnancy related complications and are less able to deal with them, which often lead to maternal death.

    Adolescents are not fully physically developed: at menarche a young woman’s pelvis has not finished growing. Therefore, pregnancy and birth at a young age pose serious risks for both mother and child.

    Age at conception is significantly associated with pregnancy and delivery complications. Mothers who conceive before 20 suffer more complications in pregnancy and delivery than women age 20+.

    Young girls suffer increased likelihood of delivery complications like eclampsia, lengthy delivery, excess hemorrhage, and delay in delivery of placenta. Other physical problems legacies to early childbirth are urinary and bowel problems, such as fistula of the vagina, intestines, or anus, broken pelvis, just to name a few.

    Can someone pls tell me how it is better for a child to give birth as opposed to aborting? If you look at the facts logically the risks to both child and mother are too great to carry the pregnancy forward.

  • Jules

    A fetus is not a “child.” Furthermore, an 11 year-old cannot decide if she wants to carry a pregnancy to term—what the heck does an 11 year-old know?! She needs an abortion. No guilt in aborting a fertilized egg! Let the child BE a child, not HAVE a child! You bible bangers are sick!

  • pamik

    This man is an utter PIG. “But, as you know, he’s still innocent and we are maintaining a defense on his behalf”. How can anyone be defended when there’s DNA is proof of his crime? “He’s in jail. Nobody wants to be in jail, and this is a very difficult time for him”. Awww poor fella. Well, I certainly hope it’s difficult for him! What he did to this little girl is disgusting. Hopefully he will get the same treatment in prison, i.e. rape
