Gynecologist Accused of Sex Crimes Sends Abusive Email Wishing Cancer on Woman

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 reports about the legal proceedings against him and responded that she had not consented to receive promotional material and was aware 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 would contract cancer, stating, "When it comes, you will know it is from me." She described the email as shocking and believed he targeted her because, as a lactation consultant and parenting instructor, she interacts with mothers during a vulnerable stage of pregnancy and childbirth.

Rosenbaum shared screenshots of the exchange on her Facebook page, which she said led to many other women contacting her with their own alleged experiences of harm by the Gynecologist. She stated that these women felt their complaints were being ignored by the system and that her public post empowered them.

The Gynecologist's email exchange occurs amidst ongoing proceedings against him 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 alleged sex offenses. In his response, the Gynecologist claimed the harsh remarks were made after a personal attack against him that day, in which his children were wished death and he received threats. He stated that he was responding out of pain and frustration after years of online attacks, and that while his words were harsh, they came after dozens of other aggressive messages that day. He also noted that he has not been convicted and is currently involved in a criminal proceeding with one complainant, which he believes will result in his acquittal.
