Christopher Ned Kelley was sued by
the mother of his child, Melissa Cooper after she claimed that he had 'ruined'
their relationship by cheating on her at least twice.
And a court in Georgia has ruled
that he must now pay $50,000 after they dismissed his argument that the 10-year
relationship had been a form of prostitution and he had paid his former partner
for sexual relations.
They heard how he had given Melissa
a $10,000 engagement ring, had lived with her for more than a decade and had
also fathered a child with her.
Court documents also told how Melisa
had quit her job to bring up the child, but had thrown him out after she found
out that he had cheated on her for at least the second time.
She went on to sue him for 'breach
of promise to marry'.
However, in court, Kelley said he
had never intended to marry her and although he had given her the ring, he had
never said the words 'will you marry me'.
He also argued that the relationship
had been based on a illegal pact because it had been a form of prostitution -
where he paid for sexual relations.
The court ruled in favour of his
former fiancée Melissa awarding the $50,000 (N8m) for damages and legal fees.
Kelley's appeal was dismissed last month.
