Karl Malone May Have Knocked Up A 13 Year Old Girl Back In The Day

There’s a Buffalo Bills’ rookie by the name of Demetrius Bell. He claims to be the bastard son of legendary Utah Jazz forward Karl Malone. He never had a relationship with Malone because by the time Demetrius met his father, at the age of 18, it was too late in the eyes of Malone to establish a relationship. Of course, Malone was simply trying to keep his money from Bell’s potential siphoning. Buffalo News writer Allen Wilson delved deeper into the story and discovered a shocking detail:

Bell is the son of Malone, but the Mailman had no role in Bell’s success except passing along athletic genes.
The two have had very little contact during Bell’s life. His mother, Gloria Bell, reportedly was only 13 years old and Malone a college sophomore at Louisiana Tech when Demetrius was born. Malone might have served jail time had her family asked the district attorney to file criminal charges.

13 years old minus nine months of pregnancy equals really disturbing and gross, doesn’t it? Can Karl be prosecuted for statutory rape at this point? We’re keeping our eye on this one for sure.
