Thomas Kenny, 25, didn’t want to pay child support for the child he fathered when he had a fling outside of his long-term relationship. After the woman had refused to get an abortion, the Solihull resident proceeded to do anything he could come up with to not take responsibility for the child.

He was charged and convicted of fraud and sentenced to six months in jail, suspended for 12..
