Love rat father gets look-a-like to take paternity test
A UK love rat father who sent a man who looked like him to cover a court ordered paternity test has been convicted of fraud.
Thomas Kenny was in a long term relationship when his mistress fell pregnant but she refused an abortion.
However Mr Kenny did not want to pay child support.
Birmingham Crown Court heard Mr Kenny was already the father of one child with his partner, and she was pregnant with his second while he had the affair.
UK media reports the court was told Mr Kenny put pressure on his mistress to get rid of the unborn child.
And when the time came to get a DNA test, he tried to dodge his responsibility.
It was unclear whether the fraud plot was Mr Kenny’s idea or the friend who looked like him.
In court the judge told him he couldn’t sink any lower than he had morally.
