More context

A woman who was a West Point cadet sued former cadet Caleb T. Suh in New York on Oct. 28, accusing him of assault and battery over a 2022 incident. Identified in the suit as Jane Doe, she seeks unspecified damages. The complaint says she wanted to continue her pregnancy, but Suh pressured her to terminate it, then gave her a drink containing Xanax that he described as a pregnancy protein shake. It alleges he forced abortion pills into her mouth and vagina while she was incapacitated; she later miscarried and was hospitalized. Suh pleaded guilty June 30 in federal court to assault resulting in substantial bodily injury to a dating partner. He admitted impersonating her to obtain the pills online and getting Xanax to sedate her. He awaits sentencing in January 2027.

Reporting

Verifier’s note

AOL carries NBC News’ report that the former cadet was sued over allegations he drugged his pregnant former partner and forced her to take abortion pills; IndiaTimes, Fox News, IBTimes UK, Bored Panda, AP, and The New York Times also report the lawsuit. AOL’s other article republishes Fox News’ coverage, so it is derivative; the reports describe a recent lawsuit, consistent with the proposed event’s timing.
