A Florida woman who accused a Vermont doctor of impregnating her with his own sperm instead of a donor’s in 1977 was awarded $5.25 million by a federal judge on Wednesday.
A Florida woman who accused her doctor of using his own sperm to inseminate her instead of a donor’s has received over $5 million in damages
‘The jury through its punitive damages verdict sent a message to any physicians who might think about lying to their patients or using their own semen to inseminate their patients,’ she said. ‘Such behavior will have serious consequences.’ The sperm donation had gone off without a hitch, the couple had thought. Until in 2018 when their child, now an adult, received a DNA test and found out Coates was her biological father.
Coates had testified under oath during his 2019 deposition that he was not the father, and had never used his own sperm in any insemination procedures. But once the DNA confirmed he was the genetic father of Cheryl’s child, he admitted to having used his own sperm.Cheryl’s husband, Peter, was initially a party to the lawsuit, but the judge ultimately found that he had failed to prove he had suffered damages. His claims did not go to the jury for consideration.
