Prosecutors Jail Deadbeat Dad with 14 Kids With 13 Women

THOMAS FRAZIERThomas Frazier, 42, has a novel claim. If he is (as alleged) is the father of 14 children by 13 different women, he simply cannot afford half million dollars of unpaid child support.

Frazier was arrested in Iowa after being pulled over for a broken taillight in his Mercedes Benz. In addition to the Mercedes, he had $5,000 in his pocket and a plane ticket to Florida.

He was told to either pay a downpayment of $28,000 or 90 days in jail. Prosecutors are seeking more time for the other cases. His current bill is $530,000. This leave the state with the prospect of keeping him in jail when there is no chance that he can pay any child support. However, once out, he appears to have little hope or inclination to pay. By procreating wildly, he has created his own impossibility defense.

He is not without paternal skills, however. He left his kids the following advice: “Use a condom. You don’t want to end up like your dad.”
