When 27-year-old Marcus Porchia made a recent court appearance, he had more to worry about than being one of 20 suspects accused in the highly publicized gang rape of an 11-year-old Cleveland girl.
Porchia was in court for a status report on the rape charge from nearly a year ago. But he also was daunted by paternity testing, completed in June, that found he had fathered a baby with a 13-year-old girl - leading to a second charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
