Dutch guidelines restrict a sperm donor to just 25 kids or 12 women in order to avoid potential incest issues, but Jonathan Jacob Meijer may have fathered up to 500 kids.
Jonathan Jacob Meijer, aged 41, from the Netherlands. He was charged with misleading hundreds of women worldwide and fathering nearly 500 children.
When he met with Eva, a mother who chose him as a donor in 2018, he allegedly told her he would stop at the legal limit when he hit it. She later learned he had hit that limit long before he met her. Meijer may have in fact fathered as many as 102 children in the Netherlands, which prompted officials to blacklist him from any further donations in 2017. Now living in Kenya, he has continued to donate in other countries, including Denmark and Ukraine.
The Dutch Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology urged all sperm banks and clinics to stop using Meijer’s samples after his 2017 blacklisting.
