"May you get cancer": The shocking email sent by the gynecologist accused of sex crimes

A lactation consultant received an email from Guy Rofeh, who presented himself as Dr. Rofeh and offered her medical guides. She recognized his name from the proceedings against him and replied that she had not authorized promotional mailings. In response, according to her, he sent her an email with curses and a wish that she get cancer.

Lactation consultant and parenting instructor Mirit Rosenbaum received an email this week from Guy Rofeh, who presented himself as "Dr. Guy Rofeh" and offered her access to three medical guides he wrote on pregnancy, childbirth, and fertility. Rosenbaum recognized the name from the criminal proceedings against him for sex crimes and replied that she had not given consent to receive marketing material and that he was not authorized to present himself as a doctor. In response, according to her, Rofeh sent her an email with curses and a wish that she get cancer: "When it comes, you'll know it's from me." Rosenbaum published the correspondence on Facebook and received messages from other women who reported similar experiences with Rofeh. The correspondence comes against the backdrop of restrictions placed on Rofeh's medical license until the conclusion of the criminal proceedings. In his response, Rofeh claimed that the statements were made after a personal attack against him and wishes for the death of his children, and that he responded out of pain and frustration.
