Netflix has been ordered by a federal court to pay $385,000 in compensatory damages to an Indiana woman. The court ruling follows a jury's determination that Netflix unfairly identified the woman as one of fertility doctor Donald Cline's secret children in the documentary 'Our Father.' The case highlights privacy concerns surrounding the portrayal of individuals in true crime documentaries. Donald Cline, the fertility doctor at the center of the documentary, has faced legal and ethical scrutiny for fathering children without consent.
