Paper-perfect, anonymous sperm donor who sired 36 kids actually a schizophrenic fellon
- 8 years ago
PORT HOPE, CANADA — A Canadian couple is suing a sperm donor who turned out to be mentally ill convict as well as the sperm bank that provided the little swimmers.
James Christian Aggeles looked like the perfect donor on paper. He was a healthy, Ph.D. candidate with a sky-high IQ.
Aggeles' credentials looked so impressive that 26 families used his sperm. The only problem was that Aggeles was actually an ex-convict with a history of mental illness.
The lawsuit says Aggeles, a 39-year-old Georgia resident, conned couples who were looking for his spunk. It looks like he helped conceive 36 children before his real identity was discovered.
Back in 2006, Angie Collins and Elizabeth Hanson spent four months searching for just the right sperm donor before they came upon "Donor 9623" at Xytex, a Georgia-based sperm bank.
Aggeles' profile said he had an IQ of 160, a bachelor's degree in neuroscience, a master's degree in artificial intelligence. It also said he was working on a doctorate in neuroscience engineering.
The lawsuit claims that he seemed "eloquent" and "mature beyond his years" online.
The couple decided Donor 9623 was a go and used his sperm to help conceive their son, who was born in 2007.
Only after Xytex mistakenly sent the couple an email by accident with the identity of Donor 9623 did they discover it was all a con.
Apparently, Aggeles suffered from schizophrenia and had been in and out of mental institutions. He actually never finished college and had a tough time holding down a job. He pleaded guilty to breaking into a house and stealing musical instruments. He spent eight months in prison the rest of his 10-year sentence on probation.
The suit says Aggeles donated sperm to Xytex between 2000 and 2014. In that time he helped father 17 girls and 19 boys, who now range in age from toddlers to 12.
