http://www.freep.com/news/latestnews/pm17296_20031125.htm A 22-year-old Detroit woman was charged Tuesday with falsely accusing Detroit Lions wide receiver Scotty Anderson of raping her. Wayne County Prosecutor Michael Duggan announced the four-year felony charge at a press conference Tuesday morning. Duggan said the charges stem from a Sept. 17 incident at Anderson's Dearborn apartment that spilled over into the early morning hours of Sept. 18. The accusing woman, Nicole Milburn, who is a dancer at a Detroit gentelman's club, went to Anderson's apartment with two friends on Sept. 17 for a night of drinking, Duggan said. At some point, Anderson had consensual sex with Milburn's friend, but never with Milburn, Duggan said. At 11 p.m. that night, Anderson confronted the women about $700 in cash missing from his bedroom. At that point, one of the other women told Anderson that Milburn picked up his discarded condoms from his bedroom and allegedly put the contents inside of her, Duggan said. The reason, according to Duggan: ``Apparently, either to hopefully cause herself to be pregnant and have a child support claim, or potentially, as it turned out, possibly to support a rape claim.'' Anderson and his 18-year-old cousin found three used condoms in Milburn's back pocket, Duggan said. They also found some of the stolen money stuffed into her hair, he said. ``They demanded the money back, at which point Ms. Milburn ran out into the hallway of the building, screaming rape,'' Duggan said. Neighbors called 911 and Dearborn police responded. Police also found some of the stolen money hidden in Milburn's car, Duggan said. ``This is disturbing from so many perspectives,'' Duggan said. ``We are seeing more and more people's reputations being tarnished with false felony reports. This also hurts every woman who is raped and goes through that trauma because it causes other women to pause and wonder whether they're going to be believed when they see somebody who is caught being a liar.'' Duggan said the two other women who accompanied Milburn confirmed that she told them about her alleged rouse with the condoms. Milburn is expected to turn herself in and be arraigned this week, Duggan said. Anderson, a 3-year veteran of the Lions, is currently on injured reserve with an ankle injury.

Its not such a picnic for the falsely accused, either. But we need not mention that -- they're only men.

Yes, of course. The support is the child's, not the mother's. But I think he'd have a strong case for custody.

Not that you asked me, but yes, it would. And he should participate in raising the kid. Heck, he should want to: it's his kid. News flash: people accidentally have kids they didn't intend to all the time. This is more unusual, but that's not the kid's fault. Under the circumstances, he would have a good case to get physical custody, and go after her for child support.

Really? Because by that standard, every sperm donor in the country would *also* be on the hook for child support, were it ever demanded. So let me ask again: if a woman steals your sperm and impregnates herself with it, should you be saddled with a lifetime of responsibility for a child you didn't want and didn't do *anything* to bring about? Because if you say "yes" again, then all you have to do is replace "steal" with "buy," and you're demanding that sperm donors have relationships with those children and pay for their upbringing. And that isn't a significant word swap.
Heck, he should want to: it's his kid.
Why should he want to? Maybe he doesn't want kids, or doesn't want any when he's 22 years old. And you can't even use the old "well, he shouldn't have done the nasty, then" bull#@($ (that's only ever applied to men in these arguments), because he didn't. He had sex with somebody else and obviously took care to ensure there was no pregnancy. I'm beginning to seriously wonder if the men's rights guys are correct, and men are presumed by most people to have *no* legal right of choice in whether or not they want to have kids. Women, hell, if you don't want it and you don't get around to aborting it before it pops out, we'll set up a "no questions asked" drop box for you, but men apparently bear the moral weight of fatherhood every time they shoot a load. Which is old school Catholic crap, folks. You've taken all that stigma and ridiculous burden off women, socially, and enhanced the male end, to the point where men are apparently the *only* people responsible for children. -- --Robert but also, there's a negative side

Specific exception in the law, and stipulated to by both donor and recipient. That's why the donor remains anonymous to the recipient.

Actually, Bo, in case you haven't been following the news anymore, sperm donors no longer have any right to privacy, even if the contract for their donation stipulated that. So this isn't exactly a blue-sky argument. Sperm donors in the US are getting unwanted contact and visits from dozens of adult children who are the result of quick money made back in college in the seventies. This is going on right now. These men are in no sense any of these children's "fathers" except the strict biological one, and they've got signatures on paper promising their names would never be given out in the future, and those contracts are no longer being honored, because nosy adult children who apparently aren't happy with the actual families they had and haven't thought the concept through that they're likely one of scores or even hundreds of offspring resulting from a single donor want it to be so.

I'd actually given it some thought again, of late, but then all this #@($ happened, and no way am I risking having the kind of emotional cripple who feels the need to hunt down a sperm donor descend on me in droves in a few decades.) It's not a big jump from there to "now you have to pay child support, too, because her husband died."

What the hell does that mean--you have to track it all down and lock it in a vault? The condoms were in a wastebasket in this guy's room, and there is a reasonable expectation that when you throw your used condom in the trash, some nutso broad will not come along and baste her goodies with your man juice.

Well, that is a tough one, but I have sympathy for the offspring, too, so there is some balancing here. The state should set up an intermediary mechanism through which the donor is contacted and can accept or decline disclosure of his identity to the offspring. That said, it isn't all that different from opening adoption records, which some states have done. California keeps 'em sealed, don't know a count of states that do so. Adults who were adopted as children want to see their birth records, and the same promise of anonymity was made to the people who gave those kids up for adoption long, long ago. Absent any intermediary mechanism, I'd weigh the interests of the offspring as having greater value than the privacy rights, since you have practical issues of medical history to consider.

Yeah, imagine, somebody wanting to find out about 50% of their heritage. If you've never had the state cut you off from your blood relations, then maybe you can't imagine how sad this is. I would hardly call myself an emotional cripple, but I wouldn't mind meeting the half-siblings that share the same father with me. But the state won't let me see the original birth certificate, so I can't. In order to protect the privacy of someone who, in all liklihood, is dead by now. Yeah, great balancing act, that one.
It's not a big jump from there to "now you have to pay child support, too, because her husband died."
And it's not a big leap from that to suing the state for damages for the emotional distress of the kid finding you, as well as any subsequent costs due to their invalidating the terms of a perfectly legal private contract that the state was not a party to.
So let me ask again: if a woman steals your sperm and impregnates herself with it, should you be saddled with a lifetime of responsibility for a child you didn't want and didn't do *anything* to bring about?

Actually, they were in the back pocket of his jeans. But I quibble. The point is, hate to say it, you better go to the trouble of flushing 'em. That is, if you can't trust the women who are around when you're having sex.
Beyond false accusations, this woman commited an illegal entry and theft in obtaining the sperm. You really consider the male crime victim responsible for a resulting pregnancy in a case like this?
I think there was no illegal entry. She was already a visitor in his home at the time. Theft, well, that's a stretch, but okay, the most petty of theft. I'd let him sue her for whatever child support he had to pay, I'd take away any resulting kid from her custody, and I'd give him the choice about where the kid lived (with him or someone he chose that was fit). You talk about "responsible" in the moral sense. That doesn't really apply. It's a biological fact, his offspring, or not. Circumstances might impact custody, civil suits, and all kinds of other things, but those come after the fact that if she has his kid, it's his kid. Anything else is punishing the kid for her crimes, and for the theft of three used condoms you will punish the kid to no child support and no father. Why is it in the discussions of men's versus women's rights, everyone looks at some balancing act that just about never takes the kid's rights in to the equation at all? I'm surprised that you, a parent, would not remember to plug what the kid gains or loses in to your calculus. Bo Raxo

I must disagree. People accidentally have kids when they have sex and are often required to pay child support. The reason they can be forced to do so is the "It takes two to tango" argument. Pregnancy resulting from the illicit theft of sperm doesn't fall under this argument.

But she, for her stealing of his genetic material and creating a child he didn't want, is ethically liable to him for all his financial cost including compensation for emotional and general damages, plus interest, legal fees, and punitive damages. When she gets hers paid, then she can ask him for the child support (part of his costs). Bob

Of course your right on who's responsible, but bo is referring to a moral responsibility of it being your child. Regardless of how it was conceived, it isn't the child's fault, and it's still your son or daughter, your flesh and blood. td

Not in the same way as adoptees, no. In the sperm donation situation, the kids already have one clear genetic line if they, say, need a kidney. If they can't get one from mom's family...too @$#*ing bad for them, I guess. Seriously, is the anonymous donor's supposed to field potential scores of requests for medical assistance, just because?
Yeah, imagine, somebody wanting to find out about 50% of their
heritage. What "heritage?" The genetic one? You'd have to work awfully hard to convince me that any sperm donor kid has any compelling claim to knowledge of that against the donor's wishes.
And it's not a big leap from that to suing the state for damages for
the
emotional distress of the kid finding you
Well, sure. Of course, you could just honor the original deal in the first place and avoid any such necessity.
Actually, they were in the back pocket of his jeans.
No, they were in *her* pocket after she stole them.
I'm surprised that you, a parent, would not remember to plug what the
kid
gains or loses in to your calculus.
I manage not to do so when I'm considering, say, abortion. Kids lose an awful lot in that transaction, Bo. -- --Robert but also, there's a negative side

Of course your right on who's responsible, but bo is referring to a moral responsibility of it being your child. Regardless of how it was conceived, it isn't the child's fault, and it's still your son or daughter, your flesh and blood.
....unless, of course, you're the one who bears it, in which case you can just drop it off at the fire station if you don't kill it before the time limit runs out in your state. This is @$#*ing *absurd.* You're saying that women, essentially, bear no responsibilities regarding children that they do not choose and that *all* of men's responsibilities are mandated from outside themselves. -- --Robert but also, there's a negative side

Strange how Marcia Clark petitioned the court for in increase in child support SO SHE COULD PURCHASE A NEW WARDROBE FOR HERSELF.
you are speaking to one case, which it appears from your statement was made by an incredibly stupid woman was the increase granted?

Actually, Bo, in case you haven't been following the news anymore, sperm donors no longer have any right to privacy, even if the contract for their donation stipulated that. So this isn't exactly a blue-sky argument. Sperm donors in the US are getting unwanted contact and visits from dozens of adult children who are the result of quick money made back in college in the seventies. This is going on right now. These men are in no sense any of these children's "fathers" except the strict biological one, and they've got signatures on paper promising their names would never be given out in the future, and those contracts are no longer being honored, because nosy adult children who apparently aren't happy with the actual families they had and haven't thought the concept through that they're likely one of scores or even hundreds of offspring resulting from a single donor want it to be so.
"nosy" adult children should be allowed to find out if their dad's want contact or not and to find out if their dads have any info about genetic diseases. sadly, i think the "no info" contracts were irresponsible, and quite frankly shortsighted. People's privacy needs to be respected yes. But thats not an argument for sealed adoption, or sperm donation records.

That said, it isn't all that different from opening adoption records,
which
some states have done. California keeps 'em sealed, don't know a count of states that do so. Adults who were adopted as children want to see their birth records, and the same promise of anonymity was made to the people
who
gave those kids up for adoption long, long ago.
Still sealed? i had no idea.
Yeah, imagine, somebody wanting to find out about 50% of their heritage.
If
you've never had the state cut you off from your blood relations, then
maybe
you can't imagine how sad this is. I would hardly call myself an
emotional
cripple, but I wouldn't mind meeting the half-siblings that share the same father with me. But the state won't let me see the original birth certificate, so I can't.
my friend billy was adopted. when he was in his twenties he received a call from a lawyer who wanted to speak to him about his biological family. He knew a little about his parents - his mother was an irish artist, his dad was greek from a restaurant owning family. They were very young and in love but parental pressure kept them apart. Billy was given to a loving family. As it turns out Billy's biological mom and dad had given up another baby boy for adoption a couple of years before Billy. It was he who was contacting Billy via this lawyer. He and his wife were having a child and looking for information about health of the bio grandparents. When they discovered Billy they decided they should contact him. Of course with a brother there are none of the icky-abandonment issues that might be with the birth parents. So Billy has two brothers now. The resemblence and the mannerisms and the interests of billy and his bio-brother are amazingly similar. I don't believe the guys ever contacted their birth parents - they weren't able to find them. without those unsealed records that reunion would never have happened.

because people change their minds Robert. I am sure many people might wish to see their biological kids, despite their feeling differently 30 years ago. They should be given the option.
