After a long and drawn out court battle, a mother and her GBF will spend the next three years behind bars after a twisted scheme they played on the woman’s ex-boyfriend.
It all started back in 2010 when the mother learned she was pregnant by her ex. Not wanting to raise the baby with him, she lied and said she had an abortion. Then she and her gay best friend secretly raised the child on their own, going so far as to list gay friend as the father on the baby’s birth certificate. The names of all parties have been withheld for legal reasons.

Three years later, a mutual friend of the mother and her ex noticed that the child was the “splitting image” of the man she used to date and alerted him about it. When the mother and her GBF refused to cooperate with a DNA test, the father filed a civil action suit against them earlier this year.
How about we take this to the next level?

A court-ordered DNA test quickly proved that he was, indeed, the father and that he had been duped. In his testimony, the father told the court he spent countless hours grieving for a child he thought had been aborted.

The mother and her GBF were both charged with complex fraud and were found guilty at a Perth Sheriff Court in June.
“You persisted in this wicked scheme for a period of almost three years,” the judge scolded them. “In all respects this was an elaborate and cynical scheme to provide [the GBF] with a child.”
They were both sentenced to three years in prison.
The duo appealed the sentence at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh, calling it “excessive,” but this week, a judge told them their sentences would stick.
“It is clear on any view that this was a planned enterprise which involved a web of deceit and many lies told,” he said.
As for the real father, he has secured a residence for his daughter after what he says has been “four years of a nightmare.”

Yeah, no one should have a problem with this outcome. That was fucked up.

If they wanted to raise a child, why did they not have one? Gay sperm works just as well as straight sperm…

I’m glad the real father took legal action. It’s appalling that this woman would do this to him. Her gay best friend is appalling too.
And why have their names been withheld from publication? Is the Australian legal system so backward that it feels the need to hide the names of those involved? Australia seems awfully secretive in this regard.

I know the whole situation is wrong, but that poor kid is going to be f’d up for life! What did the real father get out of this other than selfish revenge? Nothing! If this happened to me, I would have just left things the way they were. At least the kid had a loving home with loving “parents” to begin with.

@SpunkyBunks: He got his child. Who cares what you would have done… this ain’t you. This man had every right to take legal action and if ANYTHING, if this child gets messed up, the gay guy and the mother are to blame, not the one that was screwed over from the get-go.

@SpunkyBunks: Every child deserves to know the man who brought him into this world.

“he spent countless hours grieving for a child he thought had been aborted”. fathers of children who are murdered by abortion go through this all the time. another man (the doctor) killed your baby, and there’s nothing you can legally do about it. sad state of men’s reproductive rights in America today. that’s why I am pro=life. until fathers rights are acknowledged and protected, I am pro- life.

This is ridiculous, there should be no ‘jail sentence.’ Award him shared custody, but that’s all, there was no crime here. Since when is it illegal to lie or not tell someone that you got pregnant and kept a child? And yes, this will traumatize the child a great deal, ripping her away from her loving parents that she’s grown up with in order to give her to some random guy. It will leave lasting scars, and this wastes taxpayer money by putting people into the criminal justice system who don’t belong there. Fuck this.

This makes no sense
What straight gays “lives a nightmare” based on the babies that have been aborted from his seed?
If they cared that much I guess one could consider every time they jerked of, a form of child neglect

It’s always been illegal.
