Man Accused Of Slipping Woman Abortion Pill - Indianapolis News Story - WRTV Indianapolis
A married Wisconsin man has been charged with causing a woman to have two miscarriages by slipping her the abortion pill.
Authorities said the woman already has a 3-year-old child with Manishkumar Patel and had become pregnant by him two other times.
Authorities said the woman became suspicious of a smoothie that Patel had bought for her from an ice cream shop. She contacted police after having a sample tested by a California lab, which confirmed the presence of the abortion pill RU-486.
The newspapers reported that Patel is charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide of an unborn child; second-degree reckless endangerment; placing foreign objects in edibles; possession of prescription drugs; stalking; burglary; possession of burglary tools and two counts of violating a restraining order. The burglary charge stems from his allegedly entering the woman's residence while she was out.
His attorney said he expects Patel to plead not guilty.
