A man who wants a woman to live with him alone on a Donegal island over the winter was once exposed for offering to get women pregnant – for the price of a few pints.
John McManus hit the headlines this week by saying he was planning to move to Inishfree.
He placed an advert with an online company seeking a female companion on the deserted Donegal island.
But Donegal Daily has learned that John, 36, was at the centre of a storm three years ago when he was found to be running a ‘service’ for women.
He offered to get women pregnant for just €20 – earning the nickname The Sperminator.
McManus told how he initially became a donor in 2007 because of a sperm shortage in the UK.
“I watched a documentary about an infertile couple who could not afford IVF and I felt I should do something. Creating a life is the most special thing you can do. It is the greatest gift you can give,” he said in 2010.
“I don’t go around doing this all the time. Women see my ad and if they are looking for a donor they get in touch. Once the baby is born I don’t want any contact. I just go on with my life and you go on with yours.”
