A prior West Point cadet who pleaded guilty to intoxicating his then-girlfriend and giving her abortion pills without her say-so, causing a miscarriage, is facing a civil lawsuit that seeks undetermined damages.
In June, Caleb Suh pleaded guilty to assault causing serious bodily injury to a dating partner in connection with the March 2022 case involving the woman, who was also a cadet at the U.S. Military Academy at the time.
According to a story by Fox News, since the incident, Suh studied at two Ivy League universities, including one where he started attending classes after his guilty plea. He graduated from Cornell University this year and was enrolled as a graduate student at Columbia University when the woman filed a lawsuit Oct. 28.
The issue is the woman wanted to have the child, but Suh did not want her to keep the baby. The male cadet told the judge that he used the woman’s identity to establish an online pharmacy account, bought abortion drugs through the mail, from a friend he received Xanax to use as a sedative and hoodwinked his girlfriend into drinking what he claimed was a prenatal protein shake.
When the woman fell asleep, Suh inserted the abortion pills into her mouth and vagina.
A lawyer with the pro-life legal group Alliance Defending Freedom, Erin Hawley, who played a key role in helping overturn Roe v. Wade, said the woman was put in an “absolutely horrific situation.”
“She was expecting a child she very much wanted, was drugged and assaulted,” Hawley, who is not representing the woman, told Fox News Digital. “The horrifying assault ended up causing the death of her very much wanted child — something no woman should ever have to endure. It has obviously caused a lot of harm and trauma, in addition to the loss of the baby she very much wanted.”
“She was drugged and assaulted with abortion pills, even though Mr. Suh knew she very much wanted that child. I expect that he will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” she added.
