  • He Faked Their Pregnancies: The Doctor Who Manufactured Hope

    He Faked Their Pregnancies: The Doctor Who Manufactured Hope

    He Faked Their Pregnancies: The Doctor Who Manufactured Hope

    In this episode, we tell the record of that medical fraud from early claims about a baboon pregnancy through decades of patient care, the treatment protocol Jacobson used, and the legal outcome, asking how a respected title and a simple hormone injection allowed this scheme to operate in plain sight.

    Person: Cecil Byran Jacobson
    Date of conviction: 1992
    Counts: 52
    Location: Fairfax County, Virginia
    Birth date: October 2, 1936

    - Jacobson administered human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injections as a fertility treatment that cause positive pregnancy tests.
    - Experts testified that ultrasound images Jacobson showed patients contained nearby organs or fecal matter, not fetuses.
    - Jacobson claimed in the 1960s to have implanted his sperm into a baboon that carried a pregnancy for four months; this claim was never published or peer reviewed.
    - He held the title Chief of the Reproductive Genetics Unit at George Washington University Medical School but had no specialist training in infertility medicine.
    - The fraud operated over years in a legitimate medical practice in Fairfax County before his 1992 conviction on 52 counts.

  • The Doctor Who Faked Pregnancies: Inside Jacobson's Deception

    The Doctor Who Faked Pregnancies: Inside Jacobson's Deception
    Oct 3 2026
    The Doctor Who Faked Pregnancies: Inside Jacobson's Deception

    The shock of trusted medicine turned to betrayal: a doctor used injections of human chorionic gonadotropin to create positive pregnancy tests while ultrasound images shown to patients were actually organs or fecal matter. How did a respected reproductive geneticist convince at least fifteen women that they were bearing children when DNA and expert testimony later proved otherwise?

    In this episode, we tell the story of Cecil Bryan Jacobson and the clinic in Fairfax County, Virginia, where patients came after other options failed, the biological mechanism he exploited, the courtroom revelations that followed, and the unresolved questions about medical oversight and trust that remain.

    Person: Cecil Bryan Jacobson
    Date of birth: October 2, 1936
    Location: Fairfax County, Virginia
    Institution: George Washington University (Reproductive Genetics Unit)
    Confirmed children by DNA: at least 15

    - Jacobson claimed to have implanted a male baboon’s sperm into a female, resulting in a four-month pregnancy that was never published or independently verified.
    - He injected patients with human chorionic gonadotropin to produce positive home and clinical pregnancy tests.
    - Expert witnesses testified that ultrasound images Jacobson showed patients were actually nearby organs or fecal matter, not fetal tissue.
    - Jacobson had led the Reproductive Genetics Unit at George Washington University before opening a private clinic in the 1980s without documented specialized infertility training.
    - Investigations included DNA testing and federal grand jury proceedings that revealed a donor program investigators say never existed.

  • He Built Babies Out of Hope: The Fairfax Fertility Fraud Revealed

    He Built Babies Out of Hope: The Fairfax Fertility Fraud Revealed

    He Built Babies Out of Hope: The Fairfax Fertility Fraud Revealed

    Hope turned into proof on blurry ultrasound prints and positive pregnancy tests-until the third month when the pregnancies vanished and investigators later found no donor program at all. Fifty-two convictions and at least fifteen confirmed children would follow; how did a respected reproductive genetics chief turn medical tools into instruments of loss?

    In this episode, we trace the arc of Cecil Byran Jacobson's Fairfax County clinic, the treatments he offered, the injections and ultrasound images patients trusted, and the federal probe that exposed the fraud-what exactly did investigators uncover about the donor program and the ultrasound evidence?

    Person: Cecil Byran Jacobson
    Date of birth: October 2, 1936
    Location: Fairfax County, Virginia
    Convictions: 52
    Confirmed children: at least 15

    - Jacobson served as Chief of the Reproductive Genetics Unit at George Washington University Medical School by the 1960s.
    - Investigators found no evidence that the promised anonymous donor insemination program ever existed.
    - Trial experts testified many ultrasound images Jacobson identified as fetuses were actually anatomical structures or, in some cases, fecal matter.
    - Jacobson injected patients with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), the hormone detected by pregnancy tests.
    - The suspected total number of affected children reached as high as 75.
