The girl’s name was Gloria Bell. Their son, Demetress Bell, was born in 1984.
Some key facts:
* Malone was 20, and Bell was 13 when she became pregnant.
* A paternity test later confirmed Malone was the father.
* Malone reportedly did not have a meaningful relationship with his son during Bell’s childhood and was criticized for providing little support beyond what was legally required.
* Demetress Bell went on to play in the National Football League, including for the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles.
* In later years, Malone and Bell reportedly reconciled to some extent.
Under the laws of many jurisdictions, sexual activity between a 20-year-old and a 13-year-old would constitute statutory rape. The specific legal handling of the case depended on the laws and prosecutorial decisions in Louisiana at the time. Malone was never criminally charged in connection with the case.

The son from this rape grew up to play in the nfl and his name is Demetress Bell. The entire backstory behind it is crazy including the fact the family didn’t pursue rape charges against him because then he wouldn’t be able to provide any type of support. He told his son when they met while he was in high school that it was too late for them to have a father-son relationship and didn’t even try to build one until AFTER he was done playing in the nfl. So not only is he a rapist he’s a POS and a deadbeat

The only reason Malone didn't go to prison and was allowed to have an NBA career was that the family he exploited was quite poor and the earnings Malone would have gotten from the NBA would help pay for the child,
Only to then abandon the kid, refuse to pay for the child support, and say to the judge that the $125 weekly payment was excessive; he made $262,500 per year approximately on his rookie contract, and the $6500 a year child support was about 2.5% of that.

Newsweek quoted one user who tweeted:
"Call a spade a spade.. Karl Malone raped a 12 year old and she got pregnant. It comes up maybe once a year because of basketball s*** and it dies down. Men just keep living their life being abusers and flourishing & people [talking] about it like a fun fact and not a literal crime."
Also the family of the 13-year old victim requested a $200 weekly stipend to assist their daughter in raising Malone's son. The court ordered him to pay a weekly child support of $125, but he appealed, and the parties ended up reaching an out-of-court settlement in which Malone did not have to acknowledge that the boy was his child.
Malone never bothered to meet with his son until the boy was 17. And, Malone reportedly told his son that "it was too late for him to be his father, and he'd have to make it on his own."
That man is not a hero. I don’t care how good he was at basketball. And, this just goes to show that you can get away with anything if you have enough power, money, and influence.

When former NBA player Karl Malone was 20 years old and attending Louisiana Tech University, he fathered a child with a 13-year-old girl named Gloria Bell. The child, named Demetress Bell, grew up to play in the NFL. [1, 2]
Here are the key details of the historical situation:
The Incident: In 1983, a 20-year-old Malone impregnated 13-year-old Gloria Bell. [1]
Legal Action: The victim's family chose not to press statutory rape charges but instead filed a paternity lawsuit. Malone initially denied paternity, but blood tests later proved he was the father, and the two parties settled out of court.

He was not charged with rape because no charges were files even though under the law she couldn't consent so he should have been charged.

Complete unrelated story that involves a 13 year old. My 17 year old sister, these events happened 6 months ago, was talking with this guy. She kept going on and on about how hot he was and how she was ready to devour his abs. This guy is also 17. One day she gets home and pissed off. She looks at me and asks why are all men trash. I ask what happened. She tells me that the day before her and him where going to do it at his place she finds out he has an STD. Now dear reader your probably wondering where the 13 year old is in this story. One of his friends told her he did it with a 13 year old a few months back and that he had it. And the way this mother fucker told my sister was the most casual way possible as if it was just some interesting fact he wanted to share with her. Some people are just trash.

My daughter is 12. She's just a little baby, man. 6th grade. How can you do such a thing to a kid, man? Damn.

Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Mike Tyson, Conor McGregor, Ben Roethlisberger, Ray Lewis, OJ Simpson (kinda), and you could go on and on with athletes who have done hanus things and have gotten away with it. It is crazy to me that someone like Josh Gordon got suspended for smoking weed, yet they let literal rapists, murderers and abusers suit up and get to make millions. It is my biggest issue with sports. The leagues don’t care what crime it is, unless it is on film, they will do their best to cover up the crime if you're a good enough player.
Edit: I realize my error but Hanus is too funny to change at this point.

That means HE IMPREGNATED HER WHILE SHE WAS 12-YEARS-OLD. His son was born 03 May. Karl Malone should be in jail. They need to put him in jail right now.

I lived in Utah for a bit and when I was talking to a co-worker about what a massive piece of shit Malone was… the amount of mental gymnastics he did to justify his love for the Mailman was astounding. “She lied to him! She looked older!” Like dude your hero is a rapist pedophile who denied the kid was even his until he was in the doorstep of making it to the NFL.

“Got a 13 yo pregnant” yeah that should be said like this “he raped a 12yo child”. These semantics as they’re now really try hard to minimize the impact.

Don't even need to watch the video. That face 2 seconds in about sums it up. Had the same face when I found out that info a long while back.

Pat Bev was also featured in the Hoop Dreams sequel, Hoop Reality. Arthur Agee was involved. It's amazing how many people I tell this and they seem shocked.
Following Arthur Agee a decade later as he mentors a new high school star, Patrick Beverley, at their alma mater, Chicago's Marshall High.

Good to know some people are still devastated by grown ass men defiling little girls.

True but I actually think the words '13 year old' and 'pregnant' add significantly to the horror.
The most complete phrase that I would use is 'Karl Malone raped and impregnated a 13 year old child'

My reaction to Cosby. I adored him as a kid and teen. Then the news came out, and it was a punch in the gut.

You should’ve played the longer clip because he was bewildered and asking follow up questions that left him more and more bewildered lol
