Las Vegas, USA — In a shocking confession that has reverberated across social media and beyond, Logan Gifford, aged 26, claims he was sexually abused by his mother during childhood and now suspects the child raised as his younger brother is, in fact, his biological son.
Gifford says the abuse began when he was about 10 and continued until his teenage years. He alleges that his mother’s actions led to the birth of a boy when he was still a minor — a child whom the family has recognized as his brother. Based on the timeline and other factors, he now fears the child may actually be his son.
Court records reveal his mother, Doreene Gifford, was convicted in 2015 for crimes including attempted sexual assault, incest, and lewdness with a minor. She served time in prison and is currently listed as a registered sex offender.
DNA test results have added complexity to the case: initial results show a 99.9% match between the boy, Gifford, and their biological father — a scenario that can happen when siblings share DNA and complicates standard tests. The court has been asked to approve more advanced genetic testing to clarify paternity.
Gifford is fighting for temporary legal and physical custody of the boy, asserting his responsibility regardless of definitive paternity. He describes his drive as rooted in care, honesty, and the boy’s right to know the truth.
The controversy has reopened painful conversations about male survivors of sexual abuse, incest, and the challenges in legally proving parentage in such close-relation scenarios. Legal and human rights observers say that this case may test courts’ willingness to confront “unspeakable” family trauma.
