What should have been a simple DNA test to treat a health problem became the start of a nightmare for American Victoria Hill. When the woman received the results of the genetic test, she discovered that she was not her biological father's daughter and that she had 22 siblings, including one of her exboyfriends.

In an interview with CNN, Victoria explained that one of her biggest shocks was discovering that one of her brothers was her teenage boyfriend. According to the woman, the incident traumatized her.

“Now I look at pictures of people and think: If he's my brother, anyone could be my brother,” he said.

However, the revelation brought another surprise. Although he claims to use donated sperm, the doctor is suspected of using his own sperm during procedures without patients' consent.

The woman sought the test to learn more details about a health problem that did not affect any of her family members. However, the result presented showed that Victoria was related to 22 other people from the state of Connecticut and that they were all her brothers.

Upon contacting some of them, the woman was told that the brothers had been conceived through a fertility procedure performed by doctor Burton Caldwell.
