Netflix Ordered to Pay $385,000 to Indiana Woman Identified Without Consent in 'Our Father'
Dec 8, 2024, 10:35 PM
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." The woman filed a complaint against the streaming giant in Marion County Superior Court in 2022, alleging that Netflix exposed her identity without permission. 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.
