A former New York OB-GYN is being sued over âmedical rapeâ and âfertility fraudâ after a woman from New Jersey is accusing him of being her daughterâs father, which she was unaware of for 36 years.Â
Attorneys Jason Kane and Adam Wolf filed a lawsuit for 75-year-old client Bianca Voss Tuesday, who claims 77-year-old Martin D. Greenberg gave her his sperm, which she only learned when her 36-year-old daughter Bianca took a 23andMe DNA test.Â
âDr. Martin Greenberg inserted his own sperm into this patient, Bianca Voss. He did so without her consent and against her wishes,â the complaint reads. âSome people call this horrific act âmedical rape.â But regardless of the name, Greenbergâs heinous and intentional misconduct is unethical, unacceptable and illegal.â
Voss said at a Zoom press conference, according to People, that the news was âdevastatingâ to hear from her adult daughter.Â
âI wanted someone anonymous,â Bianca Voss told reporters, according to NBC. âHe did say, âDo you mind the donor is Jewish?â And I said ânoâ and that was it. I kind of thought it might be a medical student from the hospital, but that was it. And then he asked me for the check for $100 to cover the donor, his inconvenience.â
The complaint filed in the the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York has the former doctor being sued over battery, fraud, intentional misrepresentation, negligence and ânegligent infliction of emotional distress.â Voss wants a jury trial as well as an undisclosed amount of moneyââthe amount in controversy exceeds $75,000, exclusive of interest and costsââand the manâs medical records.Â
âItâs horrifying to look in the mirror and see the person who violated my mother and I see his face every time I look in the mirror,â Roberta shared. âIâm in turmoil about who I am, what this means and what kind of person would do this? And is that a part of who I am? And what about my son?â
Greenberg reportedly did not respond to NBCâs request to comment.Â
