Rielle Hunter, the former girlfriend of US presidential aspirant John Edwards, has said she won’t seek a paternity test for her child. So whether John Edwards is the father of the 5-month-old child will remain unanswered for some more time.

He had confessed to the affair in a TV interview, but denied he was the father of the child and suggested a paternity test to clear his name. Meanwhile Andrew Young, a campaign aide, has claimed he is the father of the child.

But the statement of Hunter, issued by her attorney Robert Gordon, skirts all such questions. It only maintains that she wont seek any paterynity test.

In the statement, Robert Gordon said that Rielle Hunter was a private citizen and that she would not comment further on the media frenzy sparked when Edwards publicly acknowledged the affair.

He said his client wanted to forever protect the privacy of her daughter, whose birth certificate from Feb. 27 carries no name on the father line.

"Furthermore, Rielle will not participate in DNA testing or any other invasion of her ... privacy now or in the future."

After months of denying the affair, Edwards admitted Friday making "a serious error in judgment" in 2006, but maintained he was not the father of her baby.

The timing of the affair itself would make that impossible, he noted and said he was still willing to take a paternity test to clear up the question.
