Jonathan Jacob Meijer would have acted illegally and deceived several women around the world; in Holland alone he has 102 children
Dutchman Jonathan Jacob Meijer, 41, is named by the Donor Child Foundation as the possible father of 550 children. He is being sued by the organization and one of the mothers on charges of having acted illegally and deceived several women around the world by obsessively donating sperm, exceeding the permitted limit. In an interview with ‘The New York Times’, a mother of two of her children said the man had a good mouth. “He seemed calm, friendly and well-behaved. He loved music and talked about his thoughts on life. It looks like the ‘The Boy Next Door’”, he told the newspaper referring to a movie. The woman paid 165 euros for a jar of semen. When the accusations began to surface, the man gave an interview to The New York Times, where he declared: ‘I know people are quick to judge me or think I donate for narcissistic reasons. But what motivates me as a donor is just doing something really big with just a little help, the appreciation of the recipients, and the warm feelings and memories I share with the children and recipients.”
In an interview with the newspaper ‘Volkskrant’ , Ties van der Meer, of the Donor Child Foundation, said that several mothers asked him to stop selling or donating their sperm, but he never responded to their concerns. “It can be very difficult mentally for a donor’s children to know that their biological father has many children,” van der Meer said, adding that it is biologically so if people enter a relationship without knowing they are related. In the Netherlands alone , the man had 102 children in 10 different clinics – a person is only allowed to have a maximum of 25 children. After being discovered in his country, he began to export his semen to other countries, such as Denmark and Ukraine, according to the ‘Daily Mail’ report . Dutch news outlet ‘AD’ informed that this is the first time that a waiting donor must appear in court on account of their donations. The Donor Child Foundation expects the trial to take place on April 13.
