Mobster sires child from behind bars

Filed under: Just For Dads, In The News, Weird But True

Some men's sperm is simply stronger than others. Like those guys who get their girlfriends pregnant -- even though he was wearing a condom and she was on the pill. Or Kevin Federline, who is seemingly incapable of having sex without making babies.

But Raffaele Cutolo's man seed is so strong that it broke out of prison. The former mobster recently fathered a child -- even though he's been in prison for 20 years with no access to conjugal visits. Impossible, right?

Well, almost. It turns out Cutolo won a legal battle that allowed him sire an offspring via artificial insemination. After marrying his wife in 1983 (in prison), the crime boss -- who will die behind bars -- desparately wanted to "give [his] wife a child." Despite his incarceration, and the fact that he killed a bunch of people, a judge figured it'd be alright for Cutolo to have a daughter he'd never be able to see -- go figure.

Cutolo's only other child, a son (who he fathered the old-fashioned way), was killed in a gang-related shoot-out -- so I'd say the future looks bright for his latest bundle of joy.
