Kevin Curry told Panorama, which is being screened at 8.30pm tonight, that he had nothing to do with the abandonment of his father in England.
He said his father became ill when they were visiting England on holiday and that he asked a friend to take him to hospital.
But he could not explain why he had left Mr Curry in England for eight months without telling anyone who he was.
Because of the high cost of care in America, elderly people are sometimes abandoned at hospitals in a practice called granny-dumping.
A man in his fifties from Taunton, Somerset, was arrested last April on suspicion of kidnapping Mr Curry. He is on police bail and has not been charged.
