A minister’s daughter gave birth to a son during the two years she allegedly had an affair with Rep. Gary Condit – whom she dumped him because of his sexual demands, The Post has learned.
Jennifer Lynn Thomas, 26, had an affair with the California Democrat that began in 1993 or 1994 – when she was 18 or 19 – and ended two years later, says her father, Pentecostal minister Otis Thomas.
A distraught Jennifer broke off the relationship because of the married Condit’s sexual requests, sources said.
On Sept. 15, 1994 – while the affair was supposedly going on – Jennifer bore a son, now 6 years old, at Doctors Medical Center in Modesto, according to a birth certificate filed in the Stanislaus County Recorder’s Office in Modesto.
The word “withheld” is written in the box for the father’s name.
Jennifer – a quiet, attractive black-haired woman who has a twin sister, Janet – met Condit, who represents the Modesto district, at a rally at California State University.
Otis Thomas told the FBI about his daughter’s affair following the April 30 disappearance of Chandra Levy, with whom Condit admits having an affair.
Two newspapers published interviews with Otis Thomas yesterday. He could not be reached by The Post.
In a note left on the door of the apartment she shares with her father, son and twin sister, Jennifer denied a relationship.
“I never met that congressman who’s involved in this. I don’t even know how both me and my father got mixed up in this. We don’t know anything,” the note read.
Marina Ein, a spokeswoman for Condit, did not return calls for comment.
Chandra vanished after completing a six-month internship with the Bureau of Prisons in Washington.
Police searched vacant buildings near her apartment yesterday but found no sign of the attractive 24-year-old brunette. The search will continue.
Police plan to release computer-enhanced photos of Chandra – as a blonde, with short hair and with a ponytail – to cover the possibility that she intentionally vanished.
In other developments:
* Federal prosecutors have begun a preliminary investigation into whether Condit obstructed justice when he allegedly asked flight attendant Anne Marie Smith to sign an affidavit denying they had an affair. Condit denies asking Smith to lie.
Smith was interviewed by federal prosecutors again yesterday.
* Rep. Bob Barr (R-Ga.) became the first congressman to demand Condit’s resignation, saying his colleague “obstructed an ongoing police investigation.”
* Chandra’s parents, Robert and Susan Levy, told the Fox network’s “America’s Most Wanted: America Fights Back” that although some reports say their daughter may have been pregnant when she vanished, they have no evidence that’s true.
If she was expecting, her parents say, they would have welcomed the news.
