A federal court in Indianapolis has ordered Netflix to pay $385,000 in compensatory damages to an Indiana woman who was unfairly identified without her consent as one of fertility doctor Donald Cline's secret children in the Netflix documentary "Our Father."

A jury determined that Netflix unfairly identified her in the film. Donald Cline, a former fertility doctor, had secretly used his own sperm to inseminate patients.
