A family court judge has named a sperm donor after finding it in the public interest to do so to help ‘vulnerable women who are interested in such services…fully understand the risks of becoming involved with him’.
Robert Charles Albon, who offers sperm donation under the pseudonym Joe Donor, has been named in A v B & Ors. His Honour Judge Jonathan Furness KC, sitting as a deputy High Court judge, said naming him ‘does infringe his Article 8 rights to privacy and family life’ but he had chosen to ‘diminish that protection’ when he spoke to the press ‘to advertise his services’.
