A fertility doctor in Canada who is accused of impregnating women with the wrong sperm — in many cases using his own — has agreed to a $10M payout.
The large settlement was announced Wednesday at a virtual hearing,a law firm representing at least one of the families. Nelligan Law said the settlement was"groundbreaking."
An attorney for Barwin declined to comment when contacted by NBC News on Friday. Barwin has denied the allegations against him and did not admit fault in the settlement. He agreed to the settlement because he wanted to avoid spending more time and money fighting the case, it states. For several decades, the family believed that Daniel was Rebecca's biological father, the documents state. It wasn't until 2016 that the family learned the truth.
Rebecca connected with another woman on Facebook, Kat Palmer, who had already learned that Barwin was her biological father. The documents state that Palmer's parents went to Barwin and requested the use of an anonymous sperm donor.
