Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon faces a lawsuit from an Ohio woman attempting to "establish paternity" of her two-year-old child.
On Friday, Mark Naymik of Cleveland.com reported Kristen Leonard formally filed the paperwork in March, and the first hearing in the case is scheduled for May 16. If Gordon is recognized as the father, Leonard is seeking child support.
"We hope to resolve this matter quickly and amicably so my client's child can have the benefit of being supported by both parents," Kelly M. Zacharias, the mother's lawyer, told Cleveland.
