Serial Sperm Donor Sued for Fathering Over 500 Children and Increasing Incest Risk.

A Dutch sperm donor, Jonathan Jacob Meijer, who allegedly fathered over 500 children worldwide, is facing a lawsuit from the DonorKind Foundation over the potential increased risk of accidental incest. The foundation claims Meijer lied about the number of children he had fathered through sperm donations and endangered the psychological well-being of his children in addition to the increased risk of incest or inbreeding. Meijer may have fathered as many as 102 children in the Netherlands, which prompted officials to blacklist him from any further donations in 2017. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of 25 families who wish to prevent him from donating any more sperm.

Dutch sperm donor fathers over 500 children, faces legal action.

A sperm donor in the Netherlands, identified as "Jonathan M.," has allegedly fathered more than 500 children, according to the Donorkind Foundation. The foundation is now fighting to prevent donors from remaining anonymous, as it makes it difficult to control the number of children each donor fathers. A lawsuit has been filed by the mother of one of his children to prevent him from donating in the future. The Dutch medical guidelines allow a donor to father only 25 children to avoid possible incest and psychological problems. The foundation is also asking the Netherlands to destroy any of the samples "Jonathan M." has stored, except those to be used by women who already had a baby via his donation and would like to give a sibling to their child.

Sperm donor sued for increasing incest risk with 550 children.

A Dutch musician and prolific sperm donor who has fathered about 550 children around the world is being sued by the Dutch DonorKind Foundation for allegedly increasing the risk of accidental incest. The group alleges that the serial donor has lied about the number of children he has fathered. Under Dutch guidelines, donors are not allowed to father more than 25 children or impregnate more than 12 women to prevent inbreeding, incest or psychological problems for kids who find out they have myriad siblings. The foundation will ask the court to order Meijer to stop donating and to have all his stored sperm destroyed — unless it is reserved for a woman who has already given birth to one of his children.
