Un homme du Texas inculpé pour avoir administré secrètement un médicament abortif

Un homme du Texas est accusé d'avoir administré secrètement à sa petite amie enceinte un médicament provoquant l'avortement à son insu, entraînant la mort de l'enfant à naître. Les autorités du comté de Montgomery ont annoncé les chefs d'accusation lors d'une conférence de presse cette semaine.

John Ruben Demeter, 25 ans, fait face à un chef d'accusation pour avortement illégal et un chef d'accusation pour coups et blessures sur un enfant. Le shérif du comté de Montgomery, Wesley Doolittle, a déclaré que Demeter s'était procuré le médicament en ligne, l'avait écrasé et mélangé dans une bouteille d'eau contenant un sachet de réhydratation qu'il avait donné à la femme. La grossesse était estimée à environ 14 semaines au moment des faits en février.
