Gynecologist Accused of Sex Offenses Sends Abusive Email to Lactation Consultant

A lactation consultant and parenting instructor, Mirit Rosenbaum, received an offensive email from the Gynecologist, a gynecologist facing sex offense charges. The Gynecologist initially contacted Rosenbaum via email, introducing himself as "the Gynecologist" and offering to share three medical guides he authored on pregnancy, childbirth, and fertility. Rosenbaum recognized his name from reports about the legal proceedings against him and the allegations of sexual harassment made by other women. She replied that she had not consented to receive promotional material and that he was not permitted to present himself as a doctor.

According to Rosenbaum, the Gynecologist then sent a retaliatory email filled with curses and a wish that she contract cancer, stating, "When it comes, you will know it is from me." He signed off as "the Gynecologist," listing his credentials as a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology and a senior expert in advanced gynecological surgery. Rosenbaum expressed shock at the email, stating she was appalled as a person and a former doctor. She believes the Gynecologist targeted her because, as a lactation consultant and parenting instructor, she works with mothers during the sensitive period of pregnancy and childbirth.

Rosenbaum decided to share screenshots of the exchange on her Facebook page. She claims that after the post gained traction online, she received numerous messages from women who alleged they had similar negative experiences with the Gynecologist. These women reportedly felt that the system was ignoring their harassment claims, and Rosenbaum's post made them feel empowered. The exchange occurs amidst ongoing proceedings against the Gynecologist by the Ministry of Health, which has imposed restrictions on his medical practice. Last November, the ministry extended these restrictions for another five years, pending the conclusion of criminal proceedings against him for alleged sex offenses.

The Gynecologist provided a statement claiming his harsh words were a reaction to a barrage of personal attacks that day, including death wishes for his children, threats of revenge, and threats against his life, pushing him to a breaking point. He also stated that the article was driven by self-righteousness and judgment without facts, and that he is responding as the accused while others attack him. He acknowledged the severity of his remarks but explained they came from pain and frustration after four years of online persecution, following dozens of other aggressive, humiliating, and threatening messages that day. The Gynecologist emphasized that he is currently undergoing criminal proceedings with one complainant, has never been convicted, and that any statements attributing guilt to him are, at best, persecution and, at worst, an attempt to influence the criminal proceedings, which he believes will result in his acquittal.
