Karl Malone: Scum of the Earth and Genetic Jackpot

[HurricaneKid]

Every time it comes up people are shocked that Malone knocked up a 12/13 yr old when he was at La Tech. By the time he was 20 he had three kids. Twins when he was 17 and a child with the 13 yr old when he was 20. Of his two daughters and one son, all three played college athletics. One of his daughters made the WNBA where she was quite good. And his son plays OL for the Eagles.

Its actually far worse than that as he has sued the mothers to get out of paying the $125/wk for child support, has talked with his son once- at his HS Graduation- and told him they couldn't have a father son relationship.



Here is an excerpt from WIKI, bolds are mine:

In 1998, the tabloid newspaper The Globe reported that Malone had been a defendant in paternity lawsuits, filed shortly after Malone began his professional basketball career in the late 1980s, which alleged that he was the father of three children by two women from his hometown of Summerfield, Louisiana: Demetress Bell and twins Daryl and Cheryl Ford.[40] Malone was 17 when the Ford twins were born to Bonita Ford, who was approximately the same age. However, Malone was a 20-year old college sophomore when Gloria Bell, at age 13, gave birth to Demetress.[41] In the aftermath of the Globe story, Malone met with the Ford twins for the first time since visiting them in the hospital after they were born.[42] Malone did not meet with Bell at that time, and Malone's attorney insisted that Malone had settled the lawsuits prior to any conclusive establishment of paternity, and thus still did not know whether he was truly the father of any of the children.

The Tribune confirmed that the judge in the Bell lawsuit ruled Malone to be the father, not based on presented evidence, but rather because Malone did not respond to the suit. However, the paper also examined court documents detailing the evidence that was to have been presented had Malone responded and a trial ensued. One of the items listed was a laboratory blood test which concluded with over 99 percent certainty that Bell's father was either Malone or a brother of Malone. The paper also reported that applying that same blood sample to the Ford twins resulted in a similarly high probability of paternity by Malone.[43][44] According to the Tribune, Malone challenged the court's ruling with regard to Bell, claiming that the judgment holding him responsible for $125 per week in child support, plus past and future medical expenses, was excessive. Before Malone's appeal was adjudicated, the lawsuit was settled on confidential terms. In the case regarding the Ford twins, Malone was ruled to be their father when he violated a court order by refusing to reveal his assets or submit to a DNA test. Thereafter, another out-of-court settlement was reached.[43]

By the fall of 1998, Malone accepted his paternity of the Ford twins, and Kay Malone spoke publicly of the twins being members of the Malone family.[45] Since that time, Karl Malone has maintained a relationship with the twins, each of whom later played college basketball at his alma mater of Louisiana Tech University. Cheryl Ford went on to a professional basketball career with the Detroit Shock of the Women's National Basketball Association.

To date, Malone has made no public comment with regard to Bell, who is now an offensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League. In 2008, The Buffalo News reported that Bell's first and only meeting with Malone came shortly after Bell graduated from high school. According to Bell, Malone told him at that time that it was "too late" for them to have a father-son relationship.[46]

I'm pretty sure it hasn't been acceptable to knock up a 12 year since the middle ages. I have no idea how was not/has not been arrested.

He committed a crime, if it was discovered he murdered someone 20 years ago he'd still be arrested today.

[TheOUTLAW]

Wait, are you saying that he was sleeping with a 12 yr old when he was 19-20? Why didn't he do time again?

[Sky_Knicks]

Damn..... why no jail time ??

He wasn't in mexico though so who cares? Like i asked what is to stop him from being arrested even now?

[Sky_Knicks]

Ok I must admit, it does suck that Lebron gets more hated on than Malone

[Ice Trae]

What a jackass.

The only positive spin is that Malone passed on his jackpot genes to some kids from poor families.

[MannyRam99]

he sued to get out of $125 per week in child support ?

125 bucks ???

there are dudes who make 10 grand a year who are forced to pay that.

I am also confused by this. If this is true, why is he not being arrested, invesitated, prosecuted??

[HurricaneKid]

I'm sure its going to be hard to get the woman to press charges at this point. I'm sure at the time the parents didn't want him to go to jail but to financially support the kid. So there really isn't anyone to corroberate the charges who doesn't have significant incentive NOT TO.

[D.Brasco]

It seems really unbalanced Roman Polanski did the same thing without getting the girl pregnant that is and he had to flee the country to avoid being prosecuted.

That's an odd thing to say considering that they wouldn't be poor if Malone actually paid his child support .
