As a result, she decided she no longer wanted the child she had conceived with this man, but it was too late to terminate the pregnancy. After giving birth, she gave the child up to the state and last month filed a 330 million yen lawsuit against the sperm donor for emotional distress. The woman's lawyer spoke to Japanese broadcaster, stating that she is suffering from intense mental distress and sleep problems due to the sperm donor's misrepresentation.
The lawyer said that the lawsuit is a way to prevent similar ordeals from happening in the future, taking aim at the thriving underground sperm donor industry in Japan.
