A DNA test excluded Johnson County Sheriff Adam King as the father in a disputed paternity claim, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
The reported result addresses the paternity question at the center of one part of a broader dispute. It does not, based on the evidence supplied to DFW Daily Brief, establish the status of the dispute’s other allegations.
What preceded the test
In May, KERA reported that King denied allegations involving an affair, threats and a secret child. KERA also reported that his attorneys sought DNA testing.
The Star-Telegram’s later report provides an answer to the narrow biological-paternity question: King was excluded as the father. That result is relevant to the secret-child claim, but it should not be treated as proof about separate allegations concerning an affair or threats.
The supplied reporting therefore establishes a limited update. A requested DNA test reportedly produced an exclusion, while the broader claims and King’s denials remain distinct from that result.
