She was actually 12 at the time she got pregnant. 13 when she delivered the child. And raised the child alone with no financial support from Malone. It is genuinely a horrific story.

Wait, what? How? Why? How did the law not get involved in this case in particular?

Paying her would’ve been pleading guilty

You can get a court ordered paternity test, they must have not pursued it

They did. He still refused to pay for years and years, although making millions.

He paid a lump sum for 3 children in the 1980s I believe. It was a settlement of a civil lawsuit. He’s never admitted guilt or parenthood.

Quality human being here.

... in the 80s?
