A Case of Stolen Sperm?

In an extremely bizarre lawsuit, a man in Louisiana is suing a a sperm bank after he claims the company gave his donated sperm to his ex. According to the news piece, the sperm donation was made specifically for another woman but it somehow got into the hands of his ex-girlfriend. The woman walked into the sperm bank and somehow “faked” her way into getting his sperm.

The ex-girlfriend is also countersuing claiming the man knew she was going to go in and take the sperm. The child is now two years old and the father fears that he may one day face financial responsibility for the child, or that the child will one day want to bond with him, forcing an emotional relationship. A DNA test confirmed that he is the father of the two-year old. It’s unknown if the father will be responsible for child support as much depends on the agreement he had with the sperm donor facility. In most cases, a sperm donor facility would have the donors sign waiver agreements, excusing them from any obligation to provide support to a child conceived from the sperm donation. But, specific laws surrounding child support and sperm donors are still a bit unclear, which could lead to a legal battle.
