Man Says Ex-Girlfriend Stole His Sperm to Create Kids

901 November 27, 2011 at 04:58 PM in Babies & Kids (4)
A New York man was stunned to find out that his four-year-old twins were not an accidental pregnancy after all -- but that his desperate girlfriend secretly stashed away his sperm and used it for an in-vitro procedure, he charges in a lawsuit.

Joseph Pressil, 36, was not planning on having children with Anetria Burnett, with whom he was in a relationship for six months in 2007, he said.

So she took matters into her own hands, he told the New York Post, in order to remain in his Texas house and make a legal bid for half of his possessions.

The real bombshell dropped last February, when Pressil got a strange receipt in the mail for sperm cryopreservation. Confused, he called the company that had sent him the paperwork, which referred him to the Advanced Fertility Center of Texas, where a manager asked him to sign a release form.

The fertility clinic's manager simply assumed he and his ex were married when she got the successful in-vitro fertilization procedure that resulted in the birth of the twins, his suit says.
improbable? yes. Crazy? yes, but it sounds like there were multiple credible parties involved that can corroborate the guy's story...

Quote from veritableqndry :
I'm not "going bananas," I'm questioning your perceived (by me) attack on the guy's credibility and what seems to me to be an attempt to place some if not all blame at his feet. Why are we questioning the victim here?

Reverse the situation. Man is crazy, wants a child with this woman, pokes holes in his condoms or messes with her birth control pills. She gets pregnant, wants an abortion. He takes her to court to prevent it, forces her to have the kid. Yet, she willingly had sex with him! Maybe they even talked about having kids one day in an abstract & non-specific way. Hmm.

If I start questioning her story - saying it sounds "fishy" and "implausible" - bet you good money people come down on me like a ton of bricks, "you asshole how dare you try to blame her!" Why is it different when the victim's a man?


"If she'd gotten her tubes tied before she got raped she wouldn't be pregnant."

So the answer to this problem is an invasive, non-reversable (yes I am aware it can be reversed in certain circumstances, not relevant here - it's another surgery he has to undergo) surgical procedure? Not, oh, say, holding the perpetrator of this crime responsible for her insane actions by any chance?

The very unfortunate part of all of this is that these children are caught in the middle. What's even worse is that I bet despite all of this, the mother winds up with custody & the father ends up paying child support. Which was her goal from the beginning... Scratchchin
I agreed with you up until the bolded part. After that I lost all respect for you. How dare you nor any man say that about a woman. If we have to get our tubes tied to walk out our door every day...what does that say about men? That would be like me saying "Well if that guy wore a butt plug when he went out the door today he wouldn't have gotten sodomized." See how farked up that sounds? You can not control other people's actions.Unless you've actually been raped you have no idea what you're talking about.

What this woman did was horrible and no person deserves it. Sure it could fall into the shoulda woulda coulda, but it all boils down that this woman needs help. The kids will suffer and the man doesn't want them. Could I blame him? Maybe. But that is your kids whether you like it or not. Your DNA is a part of those kids. Anyone that can just walk away from their kids says a lot about their character. This man wasn't raped he had intercourse with her consensually.

I hope you think the next time before you write an analogy. Some people including myself have been raped on here. With that said, I will be putting this thread on ignore. I feel like I need to take a warm shower to get clean from feeling degraded once again by a man.

Here you go ladies...Wear this every time you walk out the door. It's a sure bet that rape will not occur. Have a nice day!

PC he was saying how rude it was to assume that a man should just get a vassectomy so that he doesn't have kids just as it would be rude to tell a woman if she doesn't want to get pregnant that she should have her tubes tied. It's wrong to place the blame on someone who doesn't want to get rid of their reproductive possibilities.

Just because this man didn't want to have kids now, doesn't mean that someday he might want them. All VQ was saying was that people need to understand that there is equality expected in a sexual relationship and if you betray that trust then you should be the one responsible for the resulting affects. VQ was just implying that this guy is just as much a victim of malicious thought and action as if the situation were switched.

These kind of actions really piss me off because you're taking advantage of 2, if not more, human beings (the man or woman and the resulting child/children) to get something you want, whether it be the child or the child support or the continuance of a relationship. Everyone has thoughts of the most dastardly ways to stay in a relationship or to get what you want but you need to have the integrety to not do them because it is lying and stealing and so much worse because a new person/s is caught in the middle and confused.

Taking advantage of children in this sense is just as much child abuse as beating them senseless. But I also think people need to stop only blaming men. Women enter into purely sexual relationships just as much as men and both should be held accountable for the results, but if someone is abusing that trust of "yes, I have birth control covered...I know we don't want a pregnancy to result." and then reniging on that secretly and forcing a child is WRONG no matter why you wanted it.

There are plenty of children in this world that need adopted or are in broken relationships...it's not fair to them that more people are trying to cheat themselves into the same situation.

I agree. He was taking one absurd comment "He should have gotten a vasectomy" and countering it with another equally absurd comment "Women should get their tubes tied" to show how wrong it was. Obviously he wasn't saying all women should get their tubes tied.

I also agree with the rest of your statement. I don't think there is any justification for them stealing the sperm, no way to make it sound ok. I don't care how badly you want a baby. Heck I'd love to have another baby but my husband is 100% against it. Does that mean I should steal his sperm? God no. I'd love it if he changed his mind but I'm not going to take measures like that. It's sickening that some women do that, to husbands, boyfriends, strangers, whoever.

He could have just said, "Well a woman should get her tubes tied so she doesn't get pregnant." Instead he used raped. This man's rights were violated but it was consensual sex not rape. So using the word rape had nothing to add to what this man went through.

If he doesn't want his children he should give them up for adoption because someone will love them. They wont look at them any other way than a miracle. Some people try their whole lives to have children and never succeed. So adoption is their only solution. Any one that can give their children up for adoption are a lot better than me because I couldn't.

I agree with you when two people have intercourse they are both responsible for the actions that take place before and after sex. I do not think this woman should get away with what she did. She needs a serious mental evaluation, jail time and what ever else can be thrown at her. I was speaking for myself about children. I could never walk away from mine whether it was caused by a rape or not. That however, is me and not other people.

Quote from Piccaboo :
Wait, they were using condoms, he was having sex with her - and he WASN'T aware of what happened to the condoms AFTER the fact - something a little strange about this story. Do ALL men simply have sex with condoms on - and ALLOW the women to control what happens to the CONDOMS after the sexual act Scratchchin No wonder he is was in frozen suspension Ermm Don't know about you all - but this sounds a little fishy to me shake head
It does sound odd... but the thing that sounded oddest to me was the paperwork being sent four years later? It said it was a "receipt" - ummm, what?


Quote from veritableqndry :

They're not attacking, they're just questioning. The whole thing sounds strange.

What's so odd about that? Sounds like the same thing. I think what people are forgetting here is when you have sex with someone, you understand and accept the possibility of a child resulting from it. Unless someone has had a surgical procedure, there is no birth control that's 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. And you should never, ever leave birth control up to the other person and just trust that they "have it covered."

I would NEVER sleep with a guy and just "trust" that he'd take care of the birth control. If I don't want to get pregnant, I need to do whatever I can to prevent it.

I think her story would be fishier. It'd also be harder to prove. Plus if she didn't find out for 4 years... that would be really strange, too. laugh out loud

How is the comparable? Was he raped in this scenario? Dontknow

I don't think anyone should just "trust" the other person has it covered. Everyone needs to be personally responsible for their own ability to produce offspring. These two were only in a relationship for six months! Who's crazy enough to trust someone they've only known that long? Crazy

BOTH men and women have birth control available to them, so there's no excuse.

Because, just like it has been mentioned in this thread, some people are just batshit crazy.

I think picking VQ apart for saying rape is just semantics. I don't think he intended it to be harsh in that way.
