A sperm donor who claims to have fathered over 180 children has lost his bid to be legally recognised as the father of a child born after he received a £150 Amazon gift card.
Unregulated donor Robert Albon, aged in mid-50s, promotes his services on social media under ‘Joe Donor’ and claims to have fathered children in countries as far away as Argentina and Australia. Mr Albon is originally from the US and began acting as an unregulated sperm donor in 2013 before coming to England in 2020.
The judge said Mr Albon’s application is dismissed “on the ground that to grant it would manifestly be contrary to public policy”.
