Couple sues gynecologist who used his own sperm to father their child four decades ago
A Florida couple has sued a Vermont-based gynecologist alleging he used his own sperm during an insemination procedure that resulted in him biologically fathering their child
A Vermont doctor is being sued by a Florida couple after he allegedly used his own semen during a decades-old artificial insemination procedure, WCAX reports.
Montpelier-based Dr. John Boyd Coates III had a case filed against him in federal court in Burlington this month over an incident dating back to 1977. Dr. Coates allegedly signed a contract with Cheryl Rousseau and Peter Rosseau for the former to artificially inseminate Cheryl using semen from an unidentified medical student who supposedly resembled Peter.
Jerry O'Neill, the lawyer representing the Rosseau family, said, "This could not have been done accidentally."
