Nigel Woodforth and Ricky Gage are accused of earning 250,000 pounds ($385,895) by running a Web site that provided women who wanted to conceive with access to anonymous sperm donors.
Prosecutors said Monday that Woodforth, 43, ran the company from the basement of his home, and the two men did not have a license to procure or distribute sperm, as required by British law.
Women who paid a fee to use the company's services would choose from a list of men before the sperm was delivered to their homes, prosecutors said.
The two men deny two counts of procuring sperm illegally, arguing their company was just an introduction service.
