Judge Slams Paul George and Calls Him a Irresponsible Father

A lawsuit against Indiana Pacers star, Paul George says he has a daughter who was born on May 1 in New York. And now, according to the New York Post, a local judge is scolding the Indiana Pacer star for ducking the results of a paternity test and failing to fulfill his duties as a father.

“Even though it is all but certain that [George] is the father of the 5-month-old baby girl at the center of this case,” Justice Matthew Cooper writes, “he has gone to every length imaginable to avoid taking responsibility for his actions.”

The Judge’s view stems from court delays created by George’s legal motions, which seek a second paternity test and a transfer of the case from New York (where the child was born) to Florida (where the child was conceived). The Indianapolis Star reports that George’s desire for a second paternity test is “due to misgivings regarding the methodology used and accuracy of the prebirth paternity test.”

In February, before the girl was born, Paul George told reporters that he would take responsibility if the child was his. In an official statement in February, he said,

 “if and when there is legal confirmation that I am the father, I will fully embrace my responsibilities. This is a personal matter that is still being sorted out.”
