Caleb Suh and his girlfriend were expecting a child. However, the former West Point cadet did not want to become a father and allegedly forced her to take abortion pills in a horrifying way.
Caleb Suh, a former West Point cadet, is facing a lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend after admitting that he drugged her and forced her to take abortion pills while she was pregnant with his child.
The woman, who is identified as Jane Doe in court documents, filed a lawsuit against Caleb Suh in New York on October 28. She is accusing him of assault and battery and is seeking damages, CNN reported.
The alleged incident happened in February 2022, when both were students at the US Military Academy at West Point in New York.
According to the lawsuit, the woman found out she was pregnant in January 2022 and wanted to have the baby. Suh, however, wanted her to end the pregnancy and allegedly pressured her to get an abortion.
When she refused, he reportedly pretended to support her decision to continue the pregnancy. But behind her back, Suh had allegedly planned something very different.
West Point cadet pleads guilty to forcing girlfriend to take abortion pill
According to court documents, he used her personal information to create an account with an online pharmacy and order abortion medication, per CNN. He also got Xanax from a friend. He allegedly planned to use the drug to make her fall asleep.
On February 4, 2022, Suh visited his girlfriend in her West Point room. He gave her what he called a prenatal protein shake, but the drink had allegedly been mixed with medication.
After she lost consciousness, he gave her abortion pills without her knowledge or consent.
At one point, she recalled Suh starting to “touching her vagina,” according to the lawsuit. She also recalled finding two pills in her mouth and spitting them out. However, Suh allegedly pushed them back into her mouth and said, “Eat thit. It’s good for you,” according to the NY Post.
Jane Doe woke up in severe pain and began bleeding heavily. She was taken to the hospital, where doctors told her she had suffered a miscarriage, according to the lawsuit.
“Led her to believe that I had come to support her pregnancy”
The lawsuit claims that the woman “has sustained in the past and will continue to sustain … physical injury, monetary damages, pain and suffering, psychological and emotional distress, humiliation, and loss of career fulfillment,” NBC reported.
In June 2026, Caleb Suh admitted what he had done in federal court and pleaded guilty to assault.
He told the court: “In order to deceive her, I led her to believe that I had come to support her pregnancy when, in fact, I did not.”
The woman also tried to contact Suh after waking up in pain and bleeding heavily, but he allegedly ignored her messages. She eventually called 911 and was taken to the hospital, where doctors treated her for a miscarriage.
According to the lawsuit, Suh was still trying to find out whether doctors could discover what he had done while she was receiving medical treatment. Her lawyer, Russell Kornblith, says the experience has had a lasting effect on his client.
“She’s suffered a life-changing event that she is still dealing with and will be dealing with for the rest of her life,” he told the Associated Press.
Boyfriend allowed to finish semester at Columbia
The woman reported the incident to the Army Criminal Investigation Division at West Point in May 2022. However, it remains unclear what action, if any, the academy took after receiving her report.
Suh later continued his education at two Ivy League universities. He transferred to Cornell University during the 2023-2024 school year and graduated in 2026.
In September, he then started a master’s program at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health.
Cornell said Suh had answered no when asked whether he had been found responsible for a disciplinary violation at a previous school. The university also said West Point had told them he was in good academic standing and eligible to return.
His sentencing has been postponed until January 2027. This came after his lawyer asked for more time so Suh could finish his semester at Columbia. Prosecutors did not oppose the request.
Meanwhile, Jane Doe’s lawyer, Russell Kornblith, says they hope the lawsuit will help stop similar things from happening to anyone else in the future.
“We hope that by our client coming forward with this lawsuit, it will, at least, ensure that this never happens to anyone else,” he said.
