Ex-West Point cadet drugged pregnant girlfriend, caused miscarriage, then attended Ivy League schools

Caleb T. Suh, a former West Point cadet, secretly drugged his pregnant girlfriend in February 2022 and administered abortion medication without her consent, causing her to suffer a miscarriage. The woman, identified as Jane Doe, had told Suh she intended to keep the baby while he repeatedly pressured her to have an abortion.

According to court documents, Suh used his girlfriend's identification to open an online pharmacy account and obtain abortion pills. He also obtained Xanax from a friend to sedate her before giving her the medication orally and vaginally after she fell asleep.

“My intent was use the Xanax to unwittingly sedate my girlfriend so that I could then administer the abortion pills, which I had obtained via the online pharmacy.”

Doe called 911 after waking up bleeding and was hospitalized. She reported the incident to the Army Criminal Investigation Division at West Point in May 2022.

Suh pleaded guilty on June 30, 2026, to assault resulting in substantial bodily injury to a dating partner. He admitted in federal court that he administered the abortion medication without her knowledge or consent.

Suh graduated from Cornell University this year and was a public health graduate student at Columbia University as of October 28, when the woman filed her lawsuit in New York Supreme Court. His current status at Columbia remains unclear.

The civil lawsuit accuses Suh of assault and battery and seeks unspecified damages. Suh is awaiting sentencing in the criminal case.

Her lawyer, Russell Kornblith, said she has suffered a life-changing event that she will deal with for the rest of her life. Suh's lawyer, Thomas Kenniff, declined to comment.
