A battle royale is taking place in Hinds County between the disgraced ob-gyn Dr. Walter Wolfe and a former girlfriend. Kathleen Addison sued Dr. Wolfe in Hinds County Circuit Court in 2020, claiming he terminated three of her pregnancies without her consent even though he sired the children. Circuit Judge Faye Peterson dismissed part of the case but Addison appealed to the Mississippi Supreme Court in July.
Addison's motion for interlocutory appeal claims Dr. Wolfe impregnated her in 1997, 1998, and 2018. The motion states:
When petitioner was approximately seventeen years old, she began seeking gynecological care from Respondent, an OB/GYN who, at that time, owned and practiced at the Magnolia Woman's Clinic, P.A. (hereafter, "Magnolia" and when referring to both Defendants/Respondents collectively, "Respondents"), located in Hinds County, Mississippi. When Petitioner was nineteen years old, she and Respondent began a personal and sexual relationship that lasted approximately twenty-seven years. Throughout their sexual relationship, Respondent continued to serve as Petitioner's OB/GYN. Petitioner and Respondent conceived four pregnancies in 1997, 1998, 2004 and 2018, resulting in the birth of one child in 2004. The other three pregnancies were terminated as a result of Respondent inserting Misoprostol,² an abortion-inducing medication, into Petitioner's vagina.
The plaintiff claims he adminstered the drug without her knowledge or consent. She said she discovered the Wolfe-induced abortions in 2019 when the media reported he engaged in similar conduct with other women. JJ reported on July 11, 2019:
The Mississippi Board of Medical Licensure suspended the license of Dr. Walter Wolfe today after it determined he was an "immediate danger to the public." The Board said the Ob-gyn had an affair with a married employee and fathered a child with her. The suspension was issued without a hearing.
A Physician Assistant student observed Dr. Wolfe kissing a pregnant patient. The student reported the conduct as well as his siring of the child. The child was delivered at Dr. Wolfe's home.
The patient's ex-husband sued him in 2016 for alienation of affection in Hinds County Circuit Court. The complaint states the patient worked for Dr. Wolfe in 2015 before the affair began. The suspension order states:
In one of Licensee's responses to the lawsuit, he acknowledged and admitted to a relationship with this patient. While pregnant and during sex with said patient, Licensee attempted without the patient's knowledge or consent to insert four (4) Misoprostol (Cytotec) tablets into the patient's vagina in an attempt to induce an abortion; however, the patient later gave birth to Licensee's child in 2016... Earlier post.
Wolfe fought the suspension in Hinds County Chancery Court but lost. The Board suspended his license indefinitly later in July 2019. An investigator stated in an affidavit that Dr. Wolfe had affairs with three patients.
She said she realized upon reading the news stories he had performed the same type of abortion on her. She sued him in October 2020 for assault, battery, and feticide in the termination of her 1997, 1998, and 2018 pregnancies as well as fraudulent concealment.
Dr. Wolfe argued the statute of limitations applied to the 1997 and 1998 pregnancies while the discovery rule does not apply to intentional torts. He tried to get the case moved to Madison County because the alleged 2018 termination took place in Madison County.
Circuit Judge Faye Peterson agreed with the doctor and ruled the statute of limitations expired for the 1997 and 1998 claims. She dismissed those claims with prejudice. Addison appealed the dismissal to the Mississippi Supreme Court.
Attorney Bubba Morrison represents Addison while Mason Heidelberg, Esq. represents Dr. Wolfe.

In for the win with the plaintiff's attorney named Bubba when this goes viral.
Seems like the defendant might be kind of in the hurt locker here as well.
11:39--don't fly your Rankin flag too high--Bubba is a seasoned, well-respected med mal attorney and mediator. I have attended several seminars where he was the speaker and he is impressive.
What a hound.
Loose lips sink ships, loose dicks, lose your medical license!
A lot of professions have bad actors.
But, continually impregnating women then aborting the children time and time again isn't being a bad doctor.
It's much closer to being a sadistic killer.
You know, they can always use an in house doctor at Parchman.
You'd think as an OB\GYN he would prescribe the women he's sleeping with some form of birth control to prevent this.
Bubba Morrison is probably the best med mal attorney in the southeast. I’d be a little nervous if I’m Wolfe
There's a special place in hell for men who make their women kill their babies. This demon took it a step further.
"When Petitioner was nineteen years old, she and Respondent began a personal and sexual relationship that lasted approximately twenty-seven years.

And over this 27 year relationship, she had no inkling something was going on?
He went to medical school. Ever heard of a vasectomy? In addition to many unprintable things, he’s a blooming idiot as well.
This sounds like a bad made-for-TV movie.
His victims should put him under and geld him.
What did the plaintiff think the defendant was doing all these times he was putting things into her vagina?
Or does she just 'rock back' every time he says, "Let me have a look"?
He is despicable, manipulative, and sadistic.
She sounds like a nut-case who was intent on getting pregnant. She probably wasn't pregnant any of those times (except when she delivered) and concocted the whole thing. Where's any proof of her being pregnant? Instead of spending her time playing games in la la land, she should have been teaching herself how to hold a coin between her knees.
Yes @8:03, let's blame the victim. That seems like such a great thing to do, especially since the doctor did this to several women. Ever think that she trusted him with all things ob/gyn related and being the sociopath he is, she thought they were BOTH trying to have children? It's even worse because he made it to seem like she could not carry a child while he murdered them. Get out of the 1970's and realize that some women are more trusting and naive than others, and should not be condemned because their partner is evil.
wow, this is kinky
if you like doctor kink go to mississippi jury verdict reporter june 2012 issue and read all about the case of the vicksburg swinging doctor
it makes this case look tame
8:33 - If you can't recognize the psychosis in this woman, nothing this blog does can help you. Should he lose his license for having sexual trysts with patients? Yes. Is she a basket-case of poor judgment and absent morals? Yes. Should Maury Povitch get involved with this novella? Oh yeah! People like you would be glued to the set, bug-eyed.
My money is on Bubba. The mayor of Gstat is the best med mal atty in the SE
This woman is about to tell more than Wolfe want coming out. Someone might want to check into how many children he has with his patients. And my money is definitely on Morrison! He wouldn’t have taken the case if there wasn’t something to it.
Hmmmm, Dr. Wolfe is without a license, unemployed, on disability, and single. What exactly "More" can be said that would effect him in any way? Why would he be "Nervous"? What outcome will change his life or lifestyle? What are the absolute provable unequivocal facts of the plaintiffs case? Any DNA? Fingerprints? Photo/video with time or date to support the non-consent claim? Admissions of guilt that he did this to her without consent? Maybe it is just her gut feeling fueled by psychosis (just using what was mentioned in a preceding comment - not my stating it as fact)? Most, if not all, of these comments would be exactly what I would do if I were the plaintiff in this case. They fit to stir up sympathy and anger but most importantly, serve as an attempt to make this go viral. Perhaps the site moderator should talk to Dr. Wolfe, after all, Jimmy took the time to film his consent order hearing and, hopefully, will attend if he makes an attempt to have his suspension lifted.
He good a waiting until the statute of limitations up!! He did everything they said he did!! Walter is really sick in the head!!
What statute of limitations? What would the statute of limitations be applicable too? What was he waiting for them to be up to do? Who is “they” and what did “they” say he did? No argument about mental illness. That is what mental health treatment is for.
This man is a master manipulator. He butchered me when he delivered my first child, and I wish I had known enough back then to sue for malpractice. He told me I would have trouble conceiving, but I was pregnant within two months of my marriage, and had no problem at all conceiving two more. As for the sexual allegations, he hit on me in his office when I was around twenty and still single. He was married at the time. I found another doctor after my horrendous birth experience with my first child and never looked back. I should have spoken up thirty years ago. There’s a pattern of games that he likes to play with naïve patients. He is sick.
Hmmmm, normally an obstetrician does not tell a patient they will have trouble conceiving without them trying to have conceived already. Other than obvious mechanical problems or ovarian failure there is little way to predict who will not conceive. Conversely the healthiest couple on earth my be infertile. Approximately 10% of infertility is unexplained. Also, perhaps you should explain what “butchered” means. Cesarean delivery? A poorly healed tear? The birth community has commended this doctor for allowing natural birth and performing as few episiotomies as possible just as much as they have ripped him for his terrible actions.
While the statute of limitations may have run on a lawsuit it is never too late to file a board complaint. Do so and let this be aired publicly.
