In this powerful episode of the Falsely Accused Network Podcast, Mike speaks with Ryan Hampson, a man who spent years believing he was a father—only to discover that his ex-partner had deceived him using a fake DNA test.

Ryan explains how the relationship developed, how he came to accept paternity, and the devastating moment he realised the truth. He walks through the complaints he made to the police, the investigation, and the criminal trial that followed. His ex-partner was ultimately convicted of fraud, receiving 13 months’ imprisonment (suspended) and community service.

Ryan also reflects on the emotional and psychological impact, how the ordeal has shaped his future, and why he’s now campaigning for mandatory DNA testing at birth. He has taken his story directly to MPs in Parliament, calling for legislative change to protect others from this silent form of abuse.

If you or someone you know has been affected by false allegations, paternity fraud, or family-court injustice, our teams are here to help.
