Rogue sperm donor who says he’s fathered 180 children won’t be on child’s birth certificate

The child's mother and her partner say they never wanted Robert Albon to play any part in the child's life.

ClinicaliQ Brief
  • A rogue sperm donor case highlights the legal vulnerability of recipients using unregulated private donation arrangements, where donors may not be excluded from parental responsibility despite explicit wishes
  • Current UK fertility regulations appear insufficient to prevent individuals from making multiple donations outside licensed clinics, raising safeguarding concerns for recipient families
  • Clinicians should counsel patients seeking fertility treatment on the importance of using regulated fertility services to ensure proper legal protections and donor screening, rather than private arrangements
