HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — A woman is suing a Glen Allen fertility doctor for fathering two of her children without her consent. In the federal lawsuit, Katherine Richards claims Doctor Michael Kiken used his own sperm to impregnate her not once, but twice, first with her daughter and then later with her son.
“How could someone do this in good conscience,” asked Richards.
She wanted sperm. She got it.
I figure this is more common then we know. Now with DNA testing now cheap and common we will hear about it.
Yeah, but from a guy who was in “If you were the last man on Earth...” category.
A doctor’s sperm too. If you’ll pardon the expression, the judge should tell her she’s screwed.
Aside: I’m reminded of a story about a gal who sued the mon’n’pop druggist. She claimed that they didn’t adequately tell her how to use spermicidal jelly because she got pregnant after putting it on her toast.
Watched a “Law and Order” episode just a few weeks ago with this exact predicate.
Wow I didn’t think about that.
I don’t even know how getting a sperm donor works, no less how to use DNA to make sure you got the right one :)
But if one suspects the doctor, then DNA would be great.
Of if there is a way to match the sperm you’re getting to the donor..that would be good.
What a crazy world :)
How many years ago, on the show, “Law and Order” , did we see this played out???
Curious what her husband has to say...
There is a very interesting podcast about another doctor who did this on a large scale.
THE IMMACULATE DECEPTION podcast:
Fertility doctor Jan Karbaat was renowned for getting amazing results. Women who were desperate for children would visit him at his Rotterdam clinic and leave pregnant. But when the clinic closed, rumours began about the methods Karbaat used to achieve his success. The children conceived at the clinic - the Karbaat Kids - began asking difficult questions about what happened to their mothers.
What happened in Dr Karbaat’s clinic? From Somethin’ Else, The Immaculate Deception is a story about a doctor who was determined to create life - by any means possible. Reported and hosted by Jenny Kleeman.

I went to see what he looks like. Not horrible. Daughter is attractive . didnt see son
Think this is a cash grab.
There was a doctor in Virginia about 15 years ago who ran a fertility clinic. He kept using his own sperm and when it was finally discovered, they determined he had fathered something like 70 children over the years!
Maybe she wanted a black daddy so the kids wouldn’t be persecuted for their whiteness.
“Was that wrong...?”
so... some ugly woman wanted anonymous sperm to conceive, and is upset the doctor anonymously gave her his? twice?
am I missing something here?
Plaintiff here wanted a med student who looked similar to her husband.
She is even pissed about his skin tone
She might win based on the promise donor would never know her identity.
Husband is dead.
I wondered how she came to know this after so many years. According to the article, the daughter:
“took a 23AndMe DNA test to learn more about her family’s medical history. However, the results were confusing.”
Then she got a genealogist to help, who determined it was the doctor.
Ba dum, tish! 8^)
He beat his meat like it owes him money.
A J.A. Jance novel also had this as a story hook. As others have noted, this may be more prevalent than can be imagined.
