A pregnant mum who botched a DNA test and lied on her child's birth certificate has been jailed.

Georgina Saville was sentenced to almost three years behind bars after a judge ruled she had 'knowingly' conceived after being warned she would be facing time in jail two months ago.

Eight weeks ago, a trial found that 25-year-old Saville - now six weeks pregnant - had edited an image of a DNA test to say her current boyfriend was the father of her baby, rather than her ex Kyle Fitton, 28.

At the sentencing on Thursday (21 November) at Southampton Crown Court, judge Peter Henry said: "It seems to me that you were far from showing any acknowledgement of wrong doing, you were very far from showing any sort of remorse of what happened.

"Instead, you came across as vengeful.

"[The offence] wasn't particularly sophisticated in its operation but it was an attempt by you to mislead the court.

"It seems to me that you were fully aware that the [false test] would be used in court proceedings and the intention here was to thwart the proper course of justice within the family court proceedings.

"[Mr Fitton] was kept from his children and they were kept from him and that went on for some time."

Despite requests for a suspended sentence, Judge Henry dismissed this.

"You are pregnant but it's quite clear that you became pregnant, knowing that you were facing a sentence for this matter and knowing that the court had warned you that custody was very much on the cards," he said.

Saville has been sentenced to 32 months in jail and said she will also have to pay a victim surcharge.

Speaking after the conviction, Mr. Fitton, who didn't get to meet his daughter until she was 15 months old, explained he had been left 'broken' by the ordeal.

He said: "It was quite frustrating - she was almost doing that to get at me. I knew from day one [the baby] was mine.

"I knew from that point, I had to fight this, I had to fight for the truth.

"I knew she was mine and I had to prove this just to get the truth. This is something no man or woman should ever have to go through."

Saville created a fake DNA test after Mr. Fitton's lawyer requested that one be carried out.

Months later, in July 2022, another DNA test was ordered at the Family Court which found Mr. Fitton was in fact the father.

After being arrested, the court heard that Saville told officers 'biology didn't mean anything'.

Opening the trial, prosecutor Nick Tucker said: "It's plain she knew perfectly well Kyle Fitton was in fact the father.

"She provided a document which she knew to misrepresent [her child]'s paternity.

"She sought to mislead him and his solicitor and, if taken at face value, that test result might have deterred him from pursuing the proceedings any further.

"We say this was a spiteful and calculated attempt to derail his case by dishonest means.

"What she did was misleading because she made a positive assertion Danny was the father."
