Alabama politician Bill Johnson caught in sperm donation scandal in New Zealand
I never thought I’d read the words “Sperm Donation Scandal” (outside of Bored to Death.)
Bill Johnson, a former top state official who made a failed bid for governor in 2010, has been living a secret life in New Zealand as a sperm donor for lesbian couples, a New Zealand newspaper reported today.
Johnson, a Republican from Prattville, has spent much of the past year in Christchurch, New Zealand, as a contractor working on the recovery effort from a deadly earthquake that struck the city in February.
The New Zealand Herald reported in its Sunday edition that Johnson, who is married, has been using an alias to meet women who want help getting pregnant. The newspaper said it confirmed at least nine women had received sperm donations from Johnson, and at least three were pregnant.
The newspaper cited fertility medicine specialists in New Zealand who said that donors should not make sperm available to more than four families, to prevent accidental incest and lessen the stress donors and children face if they meet.
Johnson, 52, was approached by a Herald reporter on Thursday at a restaurant in Christchurch, where he had just finished dining with one of the women he impregnated. He said he was unable to have children with his wife, Kathy, who remains in Prattville, and that the urge to become a biological father was “a need that I have.”

This doesn’t seem THAT scandalous. I mean, these ladies want to have children, and what’s so bad about donating sperm? It’s not like he’s donating it “au naturale” or anything.
