A man serving time in prison for murder has impregnated his girlfriend who lives in another state.

The man's sperm is claimed to have been smuggled out of jail.

The Daily Telegraph is reporting the man's sperm was smuggled out of jail and used to impregnate his girlfriend interstate.

Investigations are underway to find out how the sperm was smuggled out of jail. The jail general manager, security manager and a superintendent along with a doctor and nurse are accused of being involved in helping the inmate.

The jail general manager, security manager and a superintendent were stood down, while a nurse and a doctor who assisted the prisoner have also been suspended, the reports said.

Not a bad idea Babel-Fish if prisoners who are separated from their spouses/girlfriends are allowed to do so. I don't see anything wrong in wanting to give one's wife or girlfriend a baby while in prison. But as you say, who will pay for child support?

The Canadian Manson-version murderer, Roch "Moses" Thériault, has conjugal visits and has sired more children while incarcerated, even though he has lost parental rights to his other children.

He convinced the women that all of them were his wives, and that they should bear him children. Even while he was in prison, three of his wives continued conjugal visits and two of the three bore him more children.
