The ruling Wednesday by the Illinois Appellate Court sends Dr. Richard O. Phillips' distress case back to trial court.
Phillips accuses Dr. Sharon Irons of a "calculated, profound personal betrayal" after their affair six years ago, saying she secretly kept semen after they had oral sex, then used it to get pregnant.
He said he didn't find out about the child for nearly two years, when Irons filed a paternity lawsuit. DNA tests confirmed Phillips was the father, the court papers state.
Phillips was ordered to pay about $800 a month in child support, said Irons' attorney, Enrico Mirabelli.
Phillips sued Irons, claiming he has had trouble sleeping and eating and has been haunted by "feelings of being trapped in a nightmare," court papers state.
Irons responded that her alleged actions weren't "truly extreme and outrageous" and that Phillips' pain wasn't bad enough to merit a lawsuit. The circuit court agreed and dismissed Phillips' lawsuit in 2003.
But the higher court ruled that, if Phillips' story is true, Irons "deceitfully engaged in sexual acts, which no reasonable person would expect could result in pregnancy, to use plaintiff's sperm in an unorthodox, unanticipated manner yielding extreme consequences."
The judges backed the lower court decision to dismiss the fraud and theft claims, agreeing with Irons that she didn't steal the sperm.
"She asserts that when plaintiff 'delivered' his sperm, it was a gift — an absolute and irrevocable transfer of title to property from a donor to a donee," the decision said. "There was no agreement that the original deposit would be returned upon request."
Phillips is representing himself in the case. He could not be reached for comment Thursday.
"There's a 5-year-old child here," Mirabelli said. "Imagine how a child feels when your father says he feels emotionally damaged by your birth."

If somebody fished Stumppy's condom out of the toilet and stuck a baster in their cootch, do you think he should pay child support?
That being the case, all of us masterbators better be careful what happens to our spooges. A whole wave of female burglars might start breaking in to steal it and go for child support. :-) [Reply]

I dont think he should have to pay child support if he offered to pay to let it go and she refused.
WOW! I can't even begin to believe that came out of a woman's mouth! You actually think offering to pay for an abortion is the responsible thing? If the little bastard would have been repsonsible he would have kept his dick in his pants or at least thought of protection.
Takes two, she didn't get "knocked up" on her own. Now he should have to pay if the girl wants to keep the baby. The only thing he has control over is if he wants to see the kids or not.
This kind of retarded $h!t is why the Ozarks has such a bad rep for being stupid! [Reply]

East coast pansie-ass pussy-whipped hen-pecked light-in-your-loafers suck-up. Is that how ya'all git your women to suck your dick? :-)
Real men, here in Jesusland.....unbuckle and pull down our pants, point to our dicks and say: "(In my best Iowanian impression) Yo wench....this dick ain't gonna suck itself, so after you get me a beer....come do your job."

I think I've told the story about the woman my buddy was boffing....
She was the Administrator, so her account was something like this: Administrator@Supply@USMC
I created an account called Administator@Supply@USMC and told him a whole bunch of crazy stuff via email, including the "I'm pregnant" line. He didn't speak for the remainder of the day. :-) [Reply]
