Populist leader allegedly had a child with a teen girl in 2016, which would constitute statutory rape under Bolivian law

The judge in the southern city of Tarija called for Morales, 65, to be arrested after Bolivia’s first Indigenous president ducked out of a hearing on his possible pre-trial detention for a second time.
