Robert Albon
Robert Albon, a 54-year-old sperm donor originally from the United States, has gained notoriety for claiming to have fathered over 180 children worldwide. His unconventional methods included sending sperm samples packaged with frozen tomato puree for preservation. Recently, he was in the news after a High Court judge denied his bid for increased parental rights over a child he fathered, questioning his motivations and suggesting he seeks to control others. The judge noted concerns about Albon's history of trying to exert influence over the mothers of his children, leading to a refusal of his request for face-to-face contact.
