Gynecologist Accused of Sex Offenses Sends Vile Email to Lactation Consultant

A lactation consultant and parenting instructor, Mirit Rosenbaum, received a disturbing email from a gynecologist who is facing sex offense charges. The Gynecologist initially contacted Rosenbaum to promote three pregnancy and childbirth guides he had written. Rosenbaum recognized his name from media reports detailing the legal proceedings against him and allegations of sexual harassment by women. She responded by stating she had not consented to receive promotional material and that he was prohibited from presenting himself as a doctor.

According to Rosenbaum, the Gynecologist then sent a retaliatory email containing curses and a wish that she contract cancer, stating, "When it arrives, you will know it is from me." He signed the email as "the Gynecologist," listing his credentials as an expert in gynecology and obstetrics. Rosenbaum expressed shock at the email, particularly noting that the Gynecologist had targeted her, likely because her work involves supporting mothers during the sensitive stages of pregnancy and childbirth.

Rosenbaum decided to share screenshots of the exchange on her Facebook page. She reported that after the post gained traction online, she received numerous messages from women who claimed to have been harmed by the Gynecologist, stating that the system had ignored their harassment complaints and that her post empowered them. The exchange occurs amid ongoing proceedings against the Gynecologist by the Ministry of Health, which has imposed restrictions on his medical license for an additional five years pending the conclusion of criminal proceedings against him for sex offenses.

The Gynecologist, in his response, claimed the harsh statements were made after a personal attack against him that same day, which included wishes for his children's deaths and threats to his life, pushing him to a breaking point. He stated that the article also stems from a place of self-righteousness and judgment without facts, and that he is being made the scapegoat. He acknowledged the severity of his statements but explained they came from pain and frustration after years of online attacks. The Gynecologist emphasized that he has never been convicted and is currently involved in criminal proceedings with one complainant, asserting that any statements attributing convictions to him are, at best, persecution and, at worst, an attempt to influence the criminal proceedings, which he believes will result in his acquittal.
