Robert Albon cannot be declared four-year-old’s father because he ran illegal sperm donation business, court rules
A prolific unregulated sperm donor described in the high court as a “highly dangerous man” has lost a legal fight to be named as the father of a child conceived using his sperm.
Robert Albon, who calls himself Joe Donor, was not entitled to be declared the father of a four-year-old child because he was running an illegal sperm donation business, Britain’s most senior family court judge ruled.
It is the fourth time he has pursued families who used his sperm to conceive in the courts and comes after a Guardian investigation found he was still selling sperm, despite warnings from family court judges.
Albon has sought court orders allowing him access to children in the last three years, including gaining custody of one and changing another’s name. This is despite advertising: “Moms I help can choose no contact and I respect that.”
