He seems private, but very active in his personal life -- hard to put the pieces of the various news reports together because they keep bringing up his kids but the kids mentioned don't seem to be connected aside from Adrian Peterson being the bio father.
Peterson allegedly beat his son with a switch and the boy's mother reported the injuries when the boy came home from visitation. Some reports say the boy is 4 and others say he is 11.
The investigation has been underway for months and Peterson testified in front of the grand jury that just indicted him. That much is clear from the various reports. I don't know who's the mother that made the allegations of abuse, though.
This year, he kinda secretly married a woman named Ashley, maiden name Brown. He's reportedly been involved with her since 2004. I don't think she's the mom in question here, but who knows?
The mother of four of his children, including 7-year-old AJ who has an inoperable brain tumor, is his ex-wife Angela Peterson. I'm pretty sure she's not the mother in this case.
He had another son whose name was Tyrese. The 2-year-old was beaten to death by his mother's boyfriend last fall -- that man has been charged with manslaughter. The little boy never met his famous dad until after he was near dead in a hospital -- allegedly Peterson only found out about the child three months before the boy's murder. That boy's mother is Ashley Doohen. She can't be the mom in this case, I don't think.
Gotta be more children and mamas out there, I think. I always like to know who filed charges in any alleged crime, but this one is a mystery to me.
