Georgina Saville, 25, told her ex-partner Kyle Fitton, 26, that DNA results proved he was not the father of one of their children to prevent him from seeking court-ordered access. She was also accused of falsifying the baby's birth certificate by naming her new partner, Danny Mellows, as the father.
