Victoria Hill, 39, was shocked after discovering she unknowingly dated her half-brother in high school. Her mother was

“wrongfully artificially inseminated”

by Dr. Burton Caldwell, a fertility doctor, allegedly without permission, per CNN. Hill later learned the truth about her biological father after years of secrecy.

Hill bravely shared her story with close friends, including her former partner who unknowingly was her half-brother. The man, whose mother was also treated by Caldwell, took a DNA test to confirm the shocking truth.

He wrote to the 39-year-old,

“You are my sister.” 

The doctor, Caldwell, is believed to have fathered at least 22 children, including Hill, who were unaware of their true lineage. This information was revealed by the network.

The woman informed CNN,

“I was traumatized by this.” 

“Now I’m looking at pictures of people thinking, well, if he could be my sibling, anybody could be my sibling,”

she added. 

Jody Madeira, an Indiana University law professor and fertility fraud expert told CNN,

“This was the first time where we’ve had a confirmed case of someone actually dating, someone being intimate with someone who was their half-sibling.” 

There are limited laws in the US regarding fertility fraud. Janine Pierson, another child of Caldwell, faces challenges in taking legal action against him due to this legal gap, as reported by CNN.

“It shouldn’t just be, you know, the Wild West where these doctors can just do whatever it is that they want,”

said Pierson. 

Pierson was shocked to discover in 2022 that she has many siblings from Caldwell. She also shared disturbing behavior she allegedly experienced from him.

“He was not in any way apologetic,”

Pierson revealed.
