Always Make her swallow
Court dismisses man's theft claim against lover who kept semen
The Associated Press Updated: 2:39 p.m. ET Feb. 24, 2005CHICAGO - An appeals court said a man can press a claim for emotional distress after learning a former lover had used his sperm to have a baby. But he can’t claim theft, the ruling said, because the sperm were hers to keep. The ruling Wednesday by the Illinois Appellate Court sends Dr. Richard O. Phillips’ distress case back to trial court. Phillips accuses Dr. Sharon Irons of a “calculated, profound personal betrayal” after their affair six years ago, saying she secretly kept semen after they had oral sex, then used it to get pregnant. He said he didn’t find out about the child for nearly two years, when Irons filed a paternity lawsuit. DNA tests confirmed Phillips was the father, the court papers state. Phillips was ordered to pay about $800 a month in child support, said Irons’ attorney, Enrico Mirabelli. 'Trapped in a nightmare' Phillips sued Irons, claiming he has had trouble sleeping and eating and has been haunted by “feelings of being trapped in a nightmare,” court papers state. Irons responded that her alleged actions weren’t “truly extreme and outrageous” and that Phillips’ pain wasn’t bad enough to merit a lawsuit. The circuit court agreed and dismissed Phillips’ lawsuit in 2003. But the higher court ruled that, if Phillips’ story is true, Irons “deceitfully engaged in sexual acts, which no reasonable person would expect could result in pregnancy, to use plaintiff’s sperm in an unorthodox, unanticipated manner yielding extreme consequences.” The judges backed the lower court decision to dismiss the fraud and theft claims, agreeing with Irons that she didn’t steal the sperm. “She asserts that when plaintiff 'delivered' his sperm, it was a gift — an absolute and irrevocable transfer of title to property from a donor to a donee,” the decision said. “There was no agreement that the original deposit would be returned upon request.” Phillips is representing himself in the case. He could not be reached for comment Thursday. “There’s a 5-year-old child here,” Mirabelli said. “Imagine how a child feels when your father says he feels emotionally damaged by your birth.”

Perhaps. But it's like, maybe the kid's mother ought to talk to him about how he was born. I mean, it's one thing to expect him to pay...but it seems a bit unreasonable for the courts - or her attorney - to be happy about the fraud.

Okay I can understand that if you have sexual intercourse, it is a reasonable expectation that you may in fact get the girl pregnant. But during oral sex? This article makes it seem as though she impregnated herself after the affair. If this was the case, how could the judge award her child support?

you know, I've been really dumbfounded by how this woman can get away with winning a paternity suit, but now I think I have the answer: "Phillips is representing himself in the case."

Perhaps he should have known something was up when she talked like she had a mouthful of marbles immediately after blowing him.

He probably should've also wondered why she insisted on giving him the blow job right next to a chest freezer and with a ziploc bag in her hand. |

Seriously women are fucking evil money grubbing bitches. And how the fuck can a judge make him pay for a kid he did not know was his? If it were like that then alot of sperm donors will be out of luck since this sort of sets a precedent. SHEESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Not quite in those words, but, damn, I agree with Noop on this one (more about the "how the fuck can a judge make him pay for a kid" part) SI

I think the dude was pretty stupid for trying to represent himself. I'm sure he could have found a lawyer to ably represent him for less than $800 month * 18 years.
