About Lina Medina in brief
Lina Medina was born 23 September 1933 in Ticrapo, Castrovirreyna Province, Peru. She is the youngest documented case of precocious puberty. She gave birth to a boy by caesarean section aged 5 years, 7 months, and 21 days. Her father was arrested on suspicion of child sexual abuse but released due to lack of evidence. Her son grew up healthy and died in 1979 aged 40 from bone marrow disease. Medina has never revealed the identity of the father nor the circumstances of her impregnation.
She married and had a second son in 1972. In 2002 she refused an interview with Reuters, just as she had turned away many reporters in years past. There are two published photographs documenting the case. The first was taken around the beginning of April 1939, when Medina was seven-and-a-half months into pregnancy. Taken from her left side, it is the only published photograph taken during her pregnancy.
