Justin Jefferson Accused Of Pressuring Ex-Partner Into Abortion, Now Facing Legal Action For The Same
Justin Jefferson, a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings, is involved in a legal battle after it was revealed that his ex-girlfriend Andrea Galea had filed a paternity claim against him. She filed a lawsuit in Essex County, New Jersey, requesting healthcare provisions, a paternity test, and financial support for the child.
In response, Jefferson has countersued, as the Daily Mail reported, asking for a paternity test as well as an injunction to stop Galea from revealing any information about the child.
