“This verdict is vindication for all of them and for all victims of fertility fraud in this country.”
Maia Emmons-Boring couldn’t stop shaking as she waited for the verdict Wednesday evening inside a Grand Junction courtroom.
Wednesday evening, as Emmons-Boring clenched her parents’ hands, a Mesa County jury awarded her family and two others nearly $9 million, finding Jones and his fertility clinic liable for the doctor using his own sperm to inseminate three mothers when they requested anonymous donors decades ago.
It was only decades later when the children — now adults — found out through services such as Ancestry.com or 23andMe that they had half-siblings with one common connection: Paul B. Jones. The jury, on the negligence claims, found Jones to be 30% liable, with the clinic liable for the other 70%, Fitz-Gerald said. Roughly $3.75 million of the $8.75 total judgment came as punitive damages to Jones, the attorney said.
