A resident of the Dutch city of The Hague, who local media call Jonathan M., donated sperm in at least 11 infertility clinics, significantly exceeding the maximum limit for one donor - 25 children in 12 families. 

As Politico reports, the man donated his sperm not only in the Netherlands, but also abroad.

Dutch law has restrictions in place to prevent unintended incest between half-siblings. 

However, as early as 2017, it became known that Jonathan M. had fathered at least 102 children by deception, as he made false assurances at each clinic that he had not offered his sperm elsewhere and would not do so in the future.

Jonathan M. continued to donate abroad, and also looked for potential clients through social networks.

According to the media, he now lives in Kenya and has given birth to at least 550 children.

One of the mothers and the organization Stichting Donorkind, which represents the interests of several of the man's children and their parents, appealed to the court in The Hague to ban him from donating and to ban the use of sperm he had already donated.

During the trial, the judge concluded that Jonathan M. deliberately lied, knowing that the parents would not have chosen him as a donor if they knew how many families he had already helped to conceive a child.

"All these parents are now faced with the fact that their children are part of a huge kinship network that includes hundreds of half-brothers and sisters," the judge was quoted as saying in the publication.

The court prohibited the man from donating his sperm or advertising himself as a donor, and also obliged him to report within seven days whether he had donated sperm to other clinics.

It will be recalled that the sperm donor from Kansas, William Marotta, is suing the authorities of his state, which forces him to pay alimony for a child that was artificially conceived with the help of his family.
