A judge has ruled against a serial sperm donor engaged in a custody battle<\/a> for two children out of the nearly 200 he has created, saying there is “substantial risk” the children would be cast aside.<\/p>\n

KEY TAKEAWAYS:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Serial sperm donor Robert Charles Albon, an American living in the UK for five years, has been denied custody of two of his biological children \u2014 out of the 180 he claims to have fathered.<\/li>\n
  • One of the children was conceived through intercourse, and the other through artificial insemination.<\/li>\n
  • Messages show that Albon was attempting to use one of the children to gain housing and government benefits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    THE DETAILS:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Robert Charles Albon, who goes by the moniker \u201cJoe Donor” on social media, claims to have fathered 180 children, often shipping his sperm packaged next to frozen tomato pur\u00e9e to keep it cold. Originally from the United States, Albon has been an unregulated sperm donor since 2013, and moved to the United Kingdom (UK) in 2020.<\/p>\n

    In 2023, he sought to have contact with \u2014 and eventually, parental control over \u2014 one of the babies he created, listed as “CA” by the courts. He also sought custody of another little girl, listed as “CB.” Both requests have been denied<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    “The evidence before the court shows that Mr Albon will have sex with, or provide his sperm for artificial insemination, to just about anyone who asks,” High Court judge Mr Justice Poole said in his ruling. “I have no confidence that Mr Albon would commit to contact and find it likely that he would move on to another family when it suited him, as he has done previously.”<\/p>\n
