A second woman is demanding that Paraguayan president and former bishop Fernando Lugo recognize the paternity of her child. The 27-year-old woman making the latest demand says her six-year-old is the son of Mr Lugo, the BBC reports.
In a press conference, the woman said her relationship with the then Bishop Lugo had begun in 2001, when she had gone to him for help with trying to contact the father of her first child.
The woman, from a very poor background, said she had wanted help with getting financial support for her child.
She said Mr Lugo had sent her money until the boy was two years old, but the money had stopped coming.
She also said he had asked her to keep quiet about the issue during last year's election campaign, which he went on to win.
In a statement, the president's office said he was prepared to act within the bounds of truth, and that he had established a special team to deal with the legal cases that might emerge around this subject.
