Britain's first gay surrogate parent has been charged with rape and human trafficking. Surrogacy enables sex offenders to obtain children. In 1999, Barrie Drewitt-Barlow and his former partner Tony became the first gay men in the UK to father twins through surrogacy. The two children, Saffron and Aspen, were born in California, and the United States Supreme Court ruled that the birth certificates would list the two men as parents, meaning the babies would be registered as having two fathers and no mother. The couple had three more children together, all born using donor eggs and surrogate mothers in the United States. Drewitt-Barlow divorced Tony after starting a relationship with Scott Hutchinson, who is 25 years younger than he is. Hutchinson was dating Drewitt-Barlow's daughter, Saffron, at the time (though the family now claims Hutchinson was always gay and that Saffron was just helping him hide his sexuality). He has since had three more children via surrogacy with Hutchinson, bringing his total number of children to eight. Numerous disturbing statements have been made by Drewitt-Barlow which dehumanize not only children but the women whose bodies he purchases. He has boasted about paying a model £50,000 to be an egg donor, because he didn't want his child to be "ugly." When his children were praised for being attractive, he said, "Well, you get what you pay for!" When asked how the surrogate mothers react to seeing their babies before they are taken away, Drewitt-Barlow said he requires every surrogate he works with to have a c-section so they are not allowed to see them — and for other reasons: "‘They don’t see [the baby], because I always put it [the c-sections] in their contract," he said. "I don’t want my children coming out of a woman’s vagina." These comments appear to be the tip of the iceberg, as he and Hutchinson have now both been arrested for sex trafficking, assault, and rape.
