DIGNITY DEFENDED, PRIVACY PRESERVED: A CALL FOR IMPROVED LEGAL SAFEGUARDS TO SHIELD VICTIMS OF INTIMATE CRIMES FROM PUBLIC SCRUTINY.

Madeline E. Brown's article in the University of Cincinnati Law Review, "DIGNITY DEFENDED, PRIVACY PRESERVED," examines the legal implications of fertility fraud, using the case of Dr. Donald Cline as a focal point. Victims, referred to as "Secret Children," were unknowingly fathered by Dr. Cline through artificial insemination. The article emphasizes the need for enhanced legal protections to safeguard victims of intimate crimes from public exposure, particularly in cases like Doe v. Netflix, Inc. It calls for a reevaluation of the newsworthiness exception in privacy law and advocates for legislative measures to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of victims' identities.
