Who violated who?

Did you hear about this? An appellate court in Illinois has ruled that a man can sue for distress over a surprise pregnancy, but sperm were the girl's to keep. Am I missing something here?!? I thought this case was featured in Legally Blonde? Roll the tape!
The ruling Wednesday by the Illinois Appellate Court sends Dr. Richard O. Phillips' distress case back to trial court.

Phillips accuses Dr. Sharon Irons of a "calculated, profound personal betrayal" after their affair six years ago, saying she secretly kept semen after they had oral sex, then used it to get pregnant.

He said he didn't find out about the child for nearly two years, when Irons filed a paternity lawsuit. DNA tests confirmed Phillips was the father, the court papers state.

Phillips was ordered to pay about $800 a month in child support, said Irons' attorney, Enrico Mirabelli.

Phillips sued Irons, claiming he has had trouble sleeping and eating and has been haunted by "feelings of being trapped in a nightmare," court papers state.
This man shouldn't pay if he didn't know about the kid. The sperm was frozen! The mother should pay for distress! That is, unless the real father is President Clinton! Clinton is probably saying to his people now, "Honestly, I did not have sexual relations with that woman! I don't even know her!" But in all seriousness, unless she fertalized herself within a three hour period, someone is lying here.
