BOSTON (AP) — A fertility clinic must pay $108,000 for the care of a man's 7-year-old daughter, who jurors said was born because the clinic impregnated the child's mother without his consent.
Jurors on Friday found that Boston IVF breached its contract with Richard Gladu and ordered the clinic to pay him $98,000 — the estimated cost of raising Gladu's now 7-year-old daughter.
They awarded him $10,000 more for emotional distress.
Gladu sued the clinic and two doctors in 1998 for $3 million in damages for breach of contract, negligence and emotional distress, saying his wife was impregnated behind his back.
