NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Manhattan fertility specialist
has been sued by two women who say he broke their
hearts after meeting them through an online dating
site on which he pretended to be single.
In their lawsuits the two women, Tiffany Wang and Jing
Huang, accused Dr. Khaled Zeitoun, 46, of pretending
to be single and using mind games to entice them into
sexual relationships with tales of past lives.
According to court papers filed in Manhattan Supreme
Court and made public this week, Zeitoun is married
with three children. Wang said she met him in March
2001 through a Web site on which he said he was single
and had never married.
"Zeitoun claimed he and Wang had been married to each
other in previous lives," Wang's lawsuit said, adding
that the doctor told her he had mistreated her in that
life and "searched for her in this lifetime to correct
his past mistakes."
Wang says that in May 2002, he asked her to marry him
but only proposed "to see the look of joy on her
face."
In a separate suit filed earlier this year, Huang said
she met the reproductive endocrinologist in October
2003 through an online dating service. He fed her a
similar line about being single and having been
married to her in a previous life.
Huang eventually realized he was cheating on her and
the relationship ended in July 2004.
Both women are seeking unspecified money damages for
infliction of severe emotional distress "outside the
boundaries of human decency and social norms."
In a written response to the court papers filed by
Huang, Zeitoun admitted that he told her he was single
and had relationships with other women he met on the
Internet.
