Maria Monteza Pregnancy Test
Pregnancy test performed on María Magdalena Monteza Benavides confirmed a pregnancy of approximately eight and a half months, placing the conception during her period of detention and being used as evidence of rape during her captivity.
On December 28, 1992, María Magdalena Monteza Benavides underwent a pregnancy test at the Laboratory Service of the Departmental Health Unit of Lima Sur, by means of Certificate No. 07833. This test confirmed that she was in a state of gestation, with approximately eight and a half months of pregnancy at that time. The test result was used as evidence in different instances to argue the sexual violation she had suffered during her detention, since it placed the conception around the last days of October 1992, coinciding with the period of her clandestine detention. On July 14, 1993, Magdalena gave birth to her daughter K.E.M.B., who was registered on August 14, 1993.
