A Dutch court will allow DNA testing of the late Jan Karbaat's personal belongings. The fertility clinic doctor had been accused of fathering children with his own sperm:
A Dutch court has approved a request by families seeking DNA tests on the belongings of a late fertility clinic doctor accused of using his own sperm in dozens of cases. Jan Karbaat is suspected of fathering about 60 children at the centre he ran in Bijdorp, near Rotterdam. Tests will now be conducted on items seized from his home after his death in April, at the age of 89.
A lawyer for his family said there was no evidence to support the claims. Jan Karbaat called himself "a pioneer in the field of fertilisation".

Ah, I see. I looked it up and it appears that the clinic's name was "Bijdorp", which isn't a city but the name of a district in the city of Barendrecht where it was located. That's why I never heard of it and assumed that it would be Blijdorp.
Blijdorp is also a district, but in Rotterdam. With a famous zoo 'Blijdorp', only a couple of miles from district Bijdorp in Barendrecht...
So it wasn't a typo, but someone mistook Bijdorp to be the name of a "city near Rotterdam", which isn't correct.
