What in the...
I'm speechless.

If youre a woman; rape someone = get baby = get money
If youre a man; rape someone = get harrassed by society = get jail
makes sense.

This is like the reverse scenario for when a female rape victim gets pregnant and is not allowed to have an abortion because of state laws. What sucks is that he could have prevented the situation for being forced to pay child support if he hadn't panicked and ignored the time frame for getting a paternity test, and that he wants to be part of the childs life but the pedophile mom didn't tell him about the kid until 6 years after she was born. In fact, everything about this whole story pretty much sucks.

This is obviously a beyond fucked up situation, but the article does mention a key point that's a very important lesson.

Don't ever ignore legal notices and/or summons, or else the court will rule against you by default. If this guy had responded appropriately, the end result would likely have been different.
