Nation IN BRIEF : NEW YORK : Tests Show Bobbitt Likely Fathered Child

Blood tests show that John Bobbitt is likely the father of a baby born to a woman suing him for paternity, but Bobbitt might challenge the results, his attorney said in Niagara Falls, N.Y. Beatrice Williams said she dated Bobbitt for three months in 1992, a year before his wife, Lorena, cut off his penis. Bobbitt, whose organ was surgically reattached, denies he is the boy’s father, saying he knew Williams but they never dated. Experts who examined blood samples from Bobbitt, Williams and her son, Andrew, determined there is a 99.99% likelihood that Bobbitt is the boy’s father, said Williams’ attorney, William Berard III.
