Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Tennessee

Female raping an intoxicated male?

Out of the blue one day, a friend of

my boyfriend's called him to inform

him that she was pregnant with his

child. My boyfriend was completely

shocked by the news, and told me

that he had never even kissed the

girl and had never had any feelings

for her, much less having a sexual

encounter with her. She claimed that

he was pretty drunk that night. He is

an extremely honest person, who

had only ever been with one person

(excluding the girl who claimed to be

pregnant), and that was a girlfriend

of over a year and a half. Yet, he has

absolutely no recollection of the

event. The girl claims he called her

while drunk, asking her to come pick

him up, so she took him home and

''they had sex.'' She claims that he

''knows what he did'' and that she'll

get the money from him in court. My

question is, if a paternity test proves

that the child is his, how can he

prove that he was taken advantage

of by a woman and that the sex was

non-consensual? or can he? and

even if he can, will he still be required

to pay support?
