A federal court in Indianapolis has ordered Netflix to pay $385,000 to an Indiana woman after she was identified as the daughter of Donald Cline, a former fertility doctor who secretly used his own sperm to inseminate patients.
She filed a lawsuit in Marion County Superior Court in 2022, alleging that Netflix revealed her identity without consent in the documentary Our Father.
While the names and photos of other secret children were blurred, her attorneys claimed she was not given the same protections despite assurances of anonymity.
