Marysville Ohio a woman, Marie Davis, gave birth, however it would not be her name as mother on the birth certificate.

This other woman, Coriene Cooper, was the name on the birth certificate and would raise the child. That is until she would try suing John R. Knasel for child support after they split. But he knew the truth and while they raised the child together he knew the child was not only not his but not her child either. Should he pay support? Why or why not?

The case is now in court, so far Knasel plead not guilty, Coriene Cooper plead not guilty and Marie Davis has plead not guilty. Marie Davis, aka Marie Godwin is being charged for Medicaid fraud and tampering with records. Coriene Cooper, aka Coriene Ilse is being charged with Medicaid fraud, grant theft and 8 counts of tampering. Finally, Knasel is being charged with one count of tampering.

But now lets talk about that baby that has grown up and is now 16-years-old. Cheyenne Knasel probably has known since he was around 10 that his mother wasn’t really his mom and the story behind why the switch happened. By reading what he’s said to the press it sounds like he has a good heart and doesn’t fault either mother.

“My mom Coriene, was helping Marie out by helping take care of me when she couldn’t do it. And in my eyes, that’s not wrong. It’s like helping a friend,” Cheyenne said.

No news on what will happen with either lady or Knasel.
