A sperm donor fathered 15 children but failed to tell parents that he had a genetic condition which causes learning disabilities and cognitive impairment, a court was told.
James MacDougall advertised himself on a social media page for lesbian women looking for sperm donors - without informing mums he has Fragile X syndrome, which can lead to low IQ as well as problems with memory, executive function and speech.
The 37-year-old also signed an agreement stating he did not want any form of contact with some of his children, but later applied to the Family Court for parental responsibility and child arrangements orders, giving him the right to spend time with four of his children.
