Unable to have normal intimate relationships, a thirty-six-year-old virgin in Silicon Valley decided to settle for what he decided was the next best thing: becoming a sperm donor. Six-foot-one Trent Arsenault comes from a conservative religious family in Missouri, part of the Bible Belt. He has donated sperm to over a dozen couples, most of them lesbians, and became the father of as many children. For over ten years, he produced sperm in the comforts of his own home in Fremont and let his clients picked them up fresh for use in artificial insemination. The FDA got wind of his illegal activity and ordered him to stop. He faces the risk of a hefty $100 thousand dollar fine and one year imprisonment.
Arsenault claims to be helping the poor 99 percent people who couldn't afford the expensive services of public sperm banks. Many clients were satisfied of his sperm and would sometimes post images of their babies growing up on facebook for him to see. He runs a website to attract potential clients, which included the test results of STDs, his background, his health, and his diet. He wasn't first to make illicit sperm donations. Bill Johnson, a former Republican candidate for governor, made a secret sperm donation to a lesbian couple in New Zealand.
Not wanting to cease his hobby anytime soon, Arsenault wants a hearing so that FDA might grant an exception. His attorneys want to recategorize his sperm donations as sexual liasons in order to keep his activity legal.
