Czech man tricked into giving girlfriend his sperm
A Czech man has been awarded more than £20,000 compensation after his ex-girlfriend tricked him into giving her his sperm.
Jitka Bouchalova used Tomas Kaspar's sperm to become pregnant and then demanded child-support from him.
In an unprecedented case in the Czech Republic, a Prague court ruled that the sperm of Kaspar, 36, was "misused" by Bouchalova, who in 2002 gave birth to twins.
Bouchalova was ordered to pay Kaspar £1,070 while the Gest fertility clinic was told to pay him £21,400 over the incident.
The court ruled in favour of Kaspar after he claimed that in 1999 Bouchalova got him to give her a sample of his sperm after she told him doctors at the clinic needed it to determine what contraception was best for her.
The clinic, which has appealed against the verdict, said Kaspar had approved the use of his sperm for artificial conception.
Bouchalova insisted that Kaspar had been aware exactly what the sperm would be used for.
