A russian man has sued an IVF clinic after his wife admitted she had swapped his sperm with her lover’s during treatment.
Maxim Anokhin only found that his one-year-old son was not his biological child when their marriage turned sour and his wife admitted to the swap.
Yana Anokhina, 38, had reportedly told the clinic she wanted the man she loved to be the father, but had let her husband pay for the IVF treatment and kept him in the dark for the child’s first year.
The court found that clinic staff assisted Yana in swapping the sperm.
After suing the Moscow clinic, Maxim was awarded £4600 in compensation for his moral and financial damages.
The couple has since split.
