Johnson County Jail<\/p>\n
Johnson County Sheriff Adam King is not the father<\/a> of a child prosecutors claimed was born out of an affair he had in the 1990s, according to DNA test results.<\/p>\n King took a DNA test in May after prosecutors introduced the allegation in court filings, causing his trial to be delayed.<\/p>\n In a statement to WFAA at the time, King\u2019s defense attorney Bill Mason denied the accusations in the court filings, calling them \u201cbaseless and laughable.\u201d<\/p>\n Mason said, \u201cSadly, the State is desperate and has reached a new low. These allegations are false, and the State knows they are false. The Sheriff denies these allegations.\u201d<\/p>\n Jurors at King\u2019s trial, which ended in a hung jury<\/a> earlier this week, did not hear evidence relating to the paternity claims.<\/p>\n \u201cBased upon the comparison of the DNA of [the mother] to the DNA profile of [her son], the genetic contribution from the biological father of [the son] could be determined,\u201d the DNA test report from the Southwest Institute of Forensic Sciences at Dallas reads. \u201cAdam King is excluded as being the biological father of [the son].\u201d<\/p>\n Related Stories from Fort Worth Star-Telegram<\/p>\n
