A mother who got pregnant after sexually abusing her 10-year-old son gave a mortified outburst after being confronted outside her new home.

Doreene Gifford, 47, looked wide-eyed with panic Wednesday after she was approached by a Daily Mail reporter about her incestuous abuse of her son Logan, who is now 27.

Speaking near the run-down apartment building where she lives in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Gifford yelped: 'Oh no!' after being questioned about her shocking crimes.

Gifford then turned away and ignored further questions as she raced back into her apartment, while wearing a clunky black ankle monitor. 

The pedophile was heard on the phone a few minutes later speaking to an unidentified individual and saying: 'I didn't want any trouble.'

Gifford spent nine years behind bars in Las Vegas after sexually abusing Logan at the family's Sin City home.

She was freed on probation in July 2024 and now lives in the quaint New England coastal city in a $600,000, 12-bedroom halfway house with a clapboard exterior.

New Bedford is a short drive away from the gorgeous Gilded Age beach resort of Newport, Rhode Island, and across the bay from the celebrity enclave of Martha's Vineyard. 

The neighborhood where Gifford resides is full of charming historic homes clad in clapboard or shingle, although many of them have seen better days. 

Locals living nearby professed shock at news of Gifford's crimes.

They appeared horrified to learn that one of America's most notorious child sex predators, who is a registered sex offender, is living on their doorstep, and several said they had not been warned. 

Since moving to the East Coast, Gifford has got a job working at a substance abuse charity, public records show. 

Last year, Gifford was hit by a parole violation after attempting to contact Logan and her younger son, who is now 16. 

Logan - who bravely waived his anonymity to share his story of parental abuse - wants nothing more to do with his mother.

He is now raising his brother, who has also been legally named as his son by a judge. 

The teenager, whose privacy Logan guards fiercely, suffers from developmental disabilities as well as the spinal condition scoliosis. 

Logan fears this may be the result of an incestuous conception, with children born to close relatives at much higher risk of genetic abnormalities. 

Initial DNA tests have been unable to definitively determine whether the 16-year-old is Logan's son.

That is partly because Logan's DNA is so similar to that of his biological father Theodore, who he no longer speaks to. 

Despite his terrible childhood, Logan has rebuilt his life to an impressive extent. 

He is married with a toddler daughter and works as a voting rights advocate for the Nevada Republican Party.

Logan is crowdfunding $30,000 for a more advanced DNA test to try and definitively establish the teenage boy's parentage. He also advocates for abuse survivors on his TikTok page. 

The brave anti-abuse campaigner previously told the Daily Mail how his mother began sexually abusing him around the time of the 2008 presidential election. 

She gave birth to her younger son when Logan was 11. It was only as he grew into adulthood that Logan realized that his sibling might also be his child. 

Logan previously told the Daily Mail how his mother would force him to watch pornographic videos involving dead bodies when he was 12.

He said Gifford would try to ply him with drugs so they could reenact those scenes.

Gifford was convicted of attempted sexual assault and lewdness with a child under the age of 14 in 2015. 

Despite the horrific abuse she perpetrated on him as a child, Logan told the Daily Mail this week that he was focused only on his family life and had moved forward.

‘If she is abiding by the legal restrictions in place, she deserves the opportunity to heal and find her footing again,’ he said.

He said rather than looking back, he was focused on ‘advocacy rather than the perpetrator’, and was putting his time toward his children.

While many find details of Gifford's crimes distressing and disturbing, Logan said he will continue to share the story to try and help his brother.

'I think there is a moral obligation for my brother to get answers because he is entitled to know why he is disabled… he needs help, and he deserves peace of mind over his health records.'

'Just because he has special needs, he’s still a teenager,' he continued. 

Logan says since gaining custody of his brother, the previously-overweight teenager has slimmed down and is doing well at school.  

The youngster 'fundamentally understands' the circumstances of his birth, Logan said and knows there is a 'strong possibility' that Logan is both his dad and brother.

Praising his brother's many attributes, Logan said:  'He doesn’t appear disabled, he oozes charisma. I took him to go get blood work the other day and he was flirting with the tech... That’s the stuff that people don’t see.'

Still, the distressing circumstances of the boy's entry into the world continue to hang over the family.

One of the most upsetting displays of the boy's distress surfaced last year when  Logan's daughter was born.

Turning to his brother, the boy asked: 'So, is this my sister or my niece?'
