A MAN allegedly fleeced his new wife of her life savings before telling her she faced being killed by ASIO.

Single mother Karen Roberts believed she had met the man of her dreams when she bumped into Wayne David Charters at the Ulysses Motorcycle Club at Mornington, south of Melbourne, in February 2003.

They shared an interest in dolphins, motorcycle riding, art and spirituality.

The Melbourne Magistrates Court was told today that Ms Roberts believed her new partner lived an exciting double life as an ASIO agent whose cover was to work as a carpet layer in suburban Melbourne.

Within a few months the couple was married and Mr Charters allegedly convinced Ms Roberts to sell everything she owned so they could relocate overseas.

Ms Roberts obliged and in statements tendered to the court she described selling her house, which she believes was valued at $280,000, her car and even a pet budgie.

A former leukemia patient who had his sperm frozen as a teenager has fathered a baby after doctors successfully thawed his sample a record 22 years later.

Chris Biblis was 16 when doctors told him that he needed radiotherapy that would leave him sterile and recommended before going ahead with the life-saving treatment that they put a sample of his sperm into cryogenic storage for future use.

Now aged 38, he is celebrating the birth of a healthy baby daughter, Stella, who was conceived after scientists injected a defrosted sperm into an egg from his wife, Melodie, and implanted it in her uterus.

The 22-year lapse between storage in April 1986 and conception in June 2008 is a world record, according to specialists at the U.S. fertility clinic who carried out the procedure.

The unnamed couple, a 28-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman, were caught in the act late on Easter Sunday by traffic police on the E18 highway, some 25 miles west of Oslo.

Officers who clocked the couple's silver Mazda 323 racing at 133 kilometres per hour in a 100 zone realised they were doing more than just breaking the speed limit, police told AFP.

It was veering from one side to the other because the woman was sitting on the man's lap while he was driving and doing the act, shall we say," said Tor Stein Hagen, a superintendent with Soendre Buskerund district police.

"He couldn't see much because her back was in the way," he added.

"Why they did it on a highway with such a high risk we don't know."

After following the couple for nearly a kilometre, officers pulled the car over at a service station.

"We have taken away his driving licence because of the danger that he caused," Mr Hagen said.
