Sex offender to challenge IVF ban - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Sex offender to challenge IVF ban - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): In an Australian-first case that will go to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal on Monday, the Melbourne man and his partner will try to overturn a review panel ruling that bars them from accessing IVF.

The man who was a teacher's aide was sentenced to 12 months' jail for having sex with a 16-year-old student. Under Victorian law, sex offenders who want IVF must appear before a review panel and argue why they should be able to access the treatment. He said it's unfair to deny him the chance to have children.
