Elizabeth Morgan

Jean Elizabeth Morgan, M.D., Ph.D. (born 1947 in Washington, D.C., USA) is a plastic surgeon who was involved in a famous and controversial child custody case, in which she succeeded in denying her ex-husband any contact with their daughter Hilary for almost the entirety of the child's minority, claiming incest. During the course of the case, she was incarcerated for two years, and following her release from prison she went into hiding overseas; the Congress of the United States passed two laws designed to apply to this case alone.
