'How I exposed my mother鈥檚 fertility doctor as my biological father'

In 2014, Jacoba Ballard found out her parent鈥檚 fertility doctor was her biological father.

Dr Don Cline had secretly inseminated his patients. He swapped either a donor鈥檚 or husband鈥檚 sperm with his own.

In the past five years, more than 90 siblings have been identified through DNA samples.

Many of those still live within 25 miles of each other in Indianapolis.

Newsnight鈥檚 Kirsty Wark speaks to Jacoba Ballard, whose journey to expose Dr Cline has been detailed in the Netflix documentary about the scandal, Our Father.
