The judge presiding over the Duke University lacrosse case has ordered a paternity test to be administered on the accuser's child.
The order, filed today by Superior Court Judge W. Osmond Smith III, appears to confirm reports that the woman had a child. In a December hearing, lawyers for three former Duke lacrosse players accused of sexually assaulting the woman requested the paternity test to show the child was not fathered by the players.
District Attorney Mike Nifong said in the hearing last month that he didn't believe the child had any connection to the lacrosse players, but the judge ordered anyway that a test be performed when the child was born.
In another order, Smith directed that transcripts of a closed hearing be provided to the lawyers in the case. In that closed hearing in December, the lawyers and the judge discussed sealed records.
The lacrosse players maintain their innocence and say the accusations are lies.
The case is next scheduled for a court hearing in February

Seems there is nothing but lies in this case.
