This is the real dad of the baby that schoolboy Alfie Patten had claimed was his.

DNA tests have proved Tyler Barker, 15, fathered little Maisie Roxanne with Chantelle Stedman and not 13-year-old Alfie. We can reveal the truth after a court judgement.

It followed the Mirror’s exclusive story last month when we first revealed that Alfie was not the real father – nailing another far-fetched claim by a downmarket tabloid.

Soccer-mad Tyler has admitted having unprotected sex with 15-year-old Chantelle on a one-night stand last May.

He broke down as he told how he had lost his virginity to the girl after spending the night drinking at her home.

Tyler also said Chantelle’s mum knew the youngsters were going to have sex.

He said: “I did not use any contraception but Chantelle told me she would take the morning after pill.

“I thought she would take care of it.“Her mother knew I was going to sleep with Chantelle.

“The next morning she even asked, ‘Did you have a good night?’

“It was routine for boys to stay over with her in her bed.

“But I only slept with her the once. All my mates have been teasing me but it’s not funny.”

And at the time, Tyler’s dad accused Chantelle of seducing his son at her home in Eastbourne.

The 44-year-old football coach said: “Tyler was drunk the night he had sex with her.

“He was a virgin and she just, from what he says, kept baiting him by saying, ‘I’ll make it easy for you. I’ll show you how to do  it. I will teach you how it is done.’ He’s devastated. Far from bragging about it, he thinks his life has been ruined.”

The riddle over three-month-old Maisie’s real father was sparked shortly after she was born at Eastbourne District General Hospital on February 9.

A downmarket newspaper reportedly paid Alfie’s dad Dennis, 45, for the story of how his son became one of Britain’s youngest dads after a night of unprotected sex with Chantelle.

But six young lads then claimed that they had also slept with Chantelle at around the same time.

Chantelle, backed by her mum Penny, 38, insisted that Alfie was the father and that she had no other lovers.

Alfie, of nearby Hailsham, was devastated by claims that he was not Maisie’s dad. In February, his and Tyler’s parents agreed the boys should take a £300 DNA test to settle things.
