In February, Demeter allegedly crushed a mifepristone pill, mixed it with an electrolyte drink mix and gave it to a woman who was about 14 weeks pregnant, causing her to deliver a stillborn baby.A Texas man has been indicted for allegedly giving a pregnant woman an abortion-inducing drug without her knowledge, resulting in the death of her unborn baby.
A grand jury in Montgomery County has indicted 25-year-old Jon Rueben Demeter on charges of performance of an abortion and injury to a child. Both charges are first-degree felonies and stem from an investigation conducted by authorities with the local sheriff’s office and the district attorney’s office.
Montgomery County District Attorney Mike Holley said in a statement that the case “represents allegations of deliberate deception that resulted in devastating consequences.”
