DNA Test for Newborn in Shocking Police Abuse Case – Is the 15-Year-Old Brother Also the Father?

The developments surrounding the highly publicized case of a police officer accused of repeatedly abusing his children and forcing his spouse to do the same are horrifying. At the time the shocking case was uncovered, the officer’s wife, also a police officer, was pregnant. Authorities feared that the child she was carrying might belong to her 15-year-old son rather than her husband. In February 2025, the 35-year-old mother gave birth to a girl (her sixth child), sparking a new round of investigations to determine if the 15-year-old is indeed the father of his sibling. A DNA test is expected to be conducted on the 45-year-old officer, who remains in custody. The investigation remains open, with the prosecutor urging rapid submission of DNA results to move the proceedings forward. It’s worth noting that the couple’s five other children have been placed in separate facilities and are prohibited from contacting their mother by court order. The psychological state of the 15-year-old, the eldest child, remains fragile despite efforts by specialists to help him heal.
