A Las Vegas man is seeking a court-ordered paternity test after fearing that his younger brother may actually be his biological son, a result of years of sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of his mother.

Logan Gifford, now 26, first reported in 2015 that his mother, Doreene Gifford, had sexually abused him starting when he was just 10 years old, according to 8 News Now. Prosecutors charged her with multiple counts, including sexual assault of a minor and incest.

She ultimately took an Alford plea to lesser charges of attempted sexual assault and was sentenced to 8 to 20 years in prison. Despite being granted parole in July 2023, she remains in custody for undisclosed reasons.

As Gifford continues to rebuild his life, he remains entangled in the consequences of his mother's actions.

One of his younger siblings, a brother with cognitive difficulties, was born around the time of the abuse, raising fears that he could actually be Gifford's biological son. Seeking closure and clarity, Gifford has filed a paternity case requesting an advanced DNA test.

"There's a possibility that my brother could be my son," he said. "I'm still directly involved in the mess that has left to me."

Regardless of the results, he has vowed to pursue custody to ensure his sibling's well-being. A court hearing is scheduled for May, where a judge will determine whether to approve the paternity test.
