Serial Sp*rm Donor Who Fathered 550 Kids Sued For Increasing Incest Risk
A Dutch musician and prolific sperm donor who has fathered about 550 children around the world is being sued for allegedly increasing the risk of accidental incest.
Jonathan Jacob Meijer, 41, has donated sperm to at least 13 clinics, including 11 in the Netherlands, where he was blacklisted in 2017 for fathering 102 children, the Times of London reported.
Under Dutch guidelines, donors are not allowed to father more than 25 children or impregnate more than 12 women to prevent inbreeding, incest or psychological problems for kids who find out they have myriad siblings.

Meijer, who lives in Kenya, has continued to donate his sperm outside the Netherlands, including in Denmark and Ukraine, according to the Dutch DonorKind Foundation, which has filed a civil lawsuit against him.
The group alleges that the serial donor has lied about the number of children he has fathered. “We are taking action against this man because the government is doing nothing,” DonorKind Chairman Ties van der Meer told the Telegraph.
“He has a global reach via the internet and he does business with large, international sperm banks,” he added.
The suit was brought by a Dutch woman who gave birth to one of Meijer’s kids in 2018. “If I had known he had already fathered more than 100 children I would never have chosen this donor,” said the woman, identified as Eva, according to the Times of London.
