A convicted child molester is pleading with a federal judge to release him from a New York City jail so he can donate sperm, the New York Daily News reported.

Yova Kana Shaday is currently locked up at the Queens Correctional Facility for failing to register as a sex offender.

But the 69-year-old, twice convicted for molesting children under 18, is in desperate want of becoming a father, the pleasure of which he says he's never known. So he wrote a letter to Judge Edward Korman asking for his freedom so he can "be fruitful and multiply," according to the note obtained by the Daily News.

"Pls your honor I pray the court to consider this very serious truth in releasing me," wrote Shaday, who stressed to Korman that time is not on his side.

"I'm afraid that if I'm incarcerated (5-10) years I will be released too late to ever (donate sperm) again and join a sperm bank," the felon wrote according to the Daily News.

He also promised to return to jail for whatever punishment if his request is granted. As for a potential mother, Shaday wrote he had a "specific receiver" in mind.

"The gravity of this extenuating circumstance is in your hands," he wrote in the letter filed in Brooklyn Federal Court.

Shaday was in California when he pleaded guilty in 2005 to a lewd act with a child under the age of 14, according to court documents reviewed by the newspaper.

After serving a three year sentence, Shaday again pleaded guilty to molesting another minor under the age of 18. That time he served 180 days, according to the Daily News.  

New York cops picked Shaday up in November 2014 after he failed to register as a sex offender, which he is supposed to do every year for life. At the time he was living at a Brooklyn residence under the alias "Lucas Avram."

During Shaday's court appearance last Friday, his lawyer made the defendant's request known to Korman.

"Defendant's notice to be released denied," Korman replied.
