Sperm donor who fathered 550 blacklisted from donations as mums slam 'injustice'

DAILY STAR

A sperm donor who has fathered more than 550 children has been banned from donating his sperm again.

A Dutch court has forbidden the 41-year-old, identified by de Telegraaf newspaper as Jonathan Meijer, from making donating semen at any more clinics.

If he continued he could be fined 100,000 euros (£88K) per incident.

One mother, identified as Eva, said: “I hope this ruling leads to a ban on mass donation and spreads like an oil slick to other countries.

“We must stand hand in hand around our children and protect them against this injustice.”

The Dutch Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology first raised the alarm about Jonathan M in 2017.

But by that point, he had fathered almost 102 children in the Netherlands after donating sperm in 10 clinics.
