According to foreign media including the Daily Mail, Logan Gifford (26), a man living in Las Vegas, was sexually assaulted by his mother when he was a child.
He was recently granted legal guardianship in court, arguing that his 16-year-old brother could in fact be his son. The DNA test results were inconclusive, but the court declared Logan a legal father because he lives with his brother and his biological father did not participate in the legal proceedings.
Logan was sexually abused by his mother from the age of 10 and reported it to the police at the age of 16.
His mother was sentenced to 8 to 20 years in prison in 2015 on charges of sexual assault and incest among minors and is currently on parole in Massachusetts as a registered sex offender.
Logan, who works as a political activist in Nevada, earlier this year asked the court for a DNA test to confirm his brother's biological father. As a result of the test, Logan and his younger brother showed 99.9% of genetic matching, making it difficult to accurately judge.
Logan's biological father did not participate in the legal proceedings.
Thus, the judge may not designate a person who does not participate as a father", acknowledging Logan as the legal father.
Logan said "When I suspected that my brother could be my son, my biological father gave up parenting."
The mother present at the trial said, "I believe my ex-husband is the father of his second son, but I can no longer handle this case mentally, physically and emotionally," he said, requesting the case to be closed.
The court also accepted the opinion of the analysis agency that additional DNA tests were meaningless.
