I was watching a TV court
case where a 28-year-old man was suing a 40-year-old woman who accused him of
being the father of her child. Because he used protection and did not believe
the child was his, he was asking for $3500 for emotional distress, because they
had a one-night stand and he was not interested in building a relationship with
this woman. She believed that the two would have a growing and loving
relationship and would eventually become a family. His idea was to hit it and quit
it and started to ghost her.
Suddenly, an image of the
woman posing with a baby appearing on a social media was seen by a friend of the
young man and informed him that the child looked exactly like him. She informed
him that he was the father but to him that was impossible since he used
protection.
After having sex with the
woman in her home, he threw the used condom into the wastebasket and left. But
little did he know, the woman, who was desperate to have a baby, removed the prophylactic
from the trash, and with a hypodermic needle injected the semen into her body.
The court was able to get
the DNA results, and it was discovered that the young man was not the father.
He was awarded the money for his emotional pain.
There are lessons to be
learned from this case:
- Never leave a used condom in someone else’s home; flush it down the toilet bowl or take it with you and discard it in your place of residence.
- Condoms can break and may result in an unwanted pregnancy.
- Using a used condom without the man’s permission is not a crime in most U.S. states, but it can lead to a civil suit and may be illegal in certain districts.
- Before you engage in sex with someone you hardly know, or you are not serious about forming a committed and loving relationship that involves having a child, or you are only just seeking a one-night stand, be honest with yourself and the person you are having an intimate encounter with to avoid any misunderstandings that can lead you to becoming a plaintiff or a defendant in a court case.
