A lesbian couple are suing a Georgia sperm bank for false advertising - claiming their 'PhD student, eloquent-speaking' donor turned out to be a schizophrenic with a criminal record. Angela Collins and Margaret Elizabeth Hanson from Port Hope, Ontario, decided to use Xytex Corp to start a family in 2006, believing they had a strict vetting process. According to a lawsuit seen by the Atlanta Constitution Journal, the pair were told their donor had an IQ of 160, a bachelor of science degree in neuroscience, a master’s degree in artificial intelligence, and was working on his PhD in neuroscience engineering. Angela Collins and Margaret Elizabeth Hanson of Port Hope, Ontario, decided to use Xytex Corp to start a family in 2006, believing they had a strict vetting process. But they have accused the firm of false advertising . He was also described as being mature beyond his years and an eloquent speaker. But in June 2014 they discovered his name was James Christian Aggeles, according to the suit, after the company inadvertently revealed his identity in a number of emails. Through their own research they found that he had dropped out of college and had been arrested for burglary, and that his pictures had been doctored to remove a large mole from his cheek. Aggeles was charged with one count of burglary in 2005 and his case was discharged in May 2014 under terms of the First Offender Act, said Kimberly Isaza, spokeswoman for the Cobb County District Attorney’s office. The Constitution Journal reported that he served eight months in jail, with the rest of his 10-year sentence on probation, ending in May 2014. In June 2014, the pair discovered their donor was called James Christian Aggeles, according to the lawsuit. He is said to have schizophrenia, has spent time in jail and dropped out of college. The company (Atlanta headquarters pictured) allegedly inadvertently revealed his identity in a number of emails . According to the lawsuit, the pair will now have to spend more to evaluate the care of their son. They also claim they have suffered emotional and financial hardship as a result. The couple's lawyer Nancy Hersh told the paper she is representing 15 mothers who used Aggeles as a donor. The claimants have more than 20 children by him - but are concerned for the health of their children because of his medical history. However Hersh insisted that the lawsuits do not mean the mothers do not love their children.
