In Stuttgart, Germany, a court judge must decide on a case of
honorable intentions in a situation where a man hired his neighbor to
get his wife pregnant.
It seems that Demetrius Soupolos, 29, and his former beauty queen
wife, Traute, wanted a child badly, but Demetrius was told by a doctor
that he was sterile.
So, Soupolos, after calming his wife’s protests, hired his neighbor,
Frank Maus, 34, to impregnate her. Since Maus was already married and
the father of two children, plus looked very much like Soupolos to
boot, the plan seemed good.
Soupolos paid Maus $2,500 for the job and for three evenings a week
for the next six months, Maus tried desperately, a total of 72
different times, to impregnate Traute.
When his own wife objected, he explained, "I don’t like this any
more than you. I’m simply doing it for the money. Try and understand."
When Traute failed to get pregnant after six months, however,
Soupolos was not understanding and insisted that Maus have a medical
examination, which he did.
The doctor’s announcement that Maus was also sterile shocked
everyone except his wife, who was forced to confess that Maus was not
the real father of their two children.
Now Soupolos is suing Maus for breach of contract in an effort to
get his money back, but Maus refuses to give it up because he said he
did not guarantee conception, but only that he would give an honest
effort.
