Reuters is reporting that a man claiming to have fathered 55 kids is being sued for paternity fraud in Paris, France.
A Paris man who registered 55 children by 55 different mothers faces up to 10 years in jail and fines for suspected paternity fraud and for helping to obtain residency under false pretences, police said on Friday.
The 54 year-old of African origin, who authorities did not identify, was arrested in his two-room flat in Paris during a police raid which yielded documents showing more than 50 people were registered as living at that address.
“At the moment 42 women have been identified and each claim that the man is the biological father of their child,” Paris police said in a statement.
