Ohio Doctor Charged With 6 Felonies Over Secret Abortion Drugs Given to Girlfriend

An Ohio surgical resident has been indicted on multiple felony charges after authorities allege he secretly administered abortion-inducing drugs to his pregnant girlfriend without her consent, resulting in the loss of the pregnancy, as reported by Breitbart.

Hassan-James Abbas, a 32-year-old surgical resident at the University of Toledo, was indicted by a grand jury on December 3 on six felony counts, according to Fox News, citing court documents.

The charges include abduction, tampering with evidence, unlawful distribution of an abortion-inducing drug, disrupting public services, identity fraud, and deception to obtain a dangerous drug.

Abbas’ medical license was summarily suspended by the State Medical Board of Ohio in November, prior to the indictment.

The suspension followed what regulators described as clear and convincing evidence that his continued practice posed a danger of immediate and serious harm to the public.

According to a notice of opportunity for hearing and summary suspension reviewed by Fox News, Abbas began a romantic relationship with an unnamed woman, identified in court filings as “Patient 1,” in 2024 after separating from his wife.

Court records state that on December 7, 2024, the woman informed Abbas that she was pregnant. Prosecutors allege Abbas responded by pressuring her to terminate the pregnancy.

When she refused, Abbas allegedly took steps to end the pregnancy without her knowledge.

Investigators allege Abbas secretly ordered the abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol online using his wife’s identity, without her knowledge or consent.

According to the report, Abbas crushed the pills and attempted to force them into his girlfriend’s mouth while she was asleep.

The notice describes the alleged incident in detail.

“Patient 1 woke up at 4:00 a.m. and saw that you were awake. She fell back asleep and then awoke to you physically on top of her,” the notice states.

“She thought it was a hug, but then, holding her down, you took your fingers and forced a crushed powder inside her bottom lip, beside her gums. You continued to hold Patient 1 down.”

The woman was able to escape and call 911, though prosecutors allege Abbas took her phone during the incident. She later reached a hospital, “where she was told the medication had ended the pregnancy,” according to the report.

The University of Toledo confirmed Abbas was placed on administrative leave following the medical board’s action. A university spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the investigation is not related to Abbas’ duties at the institution.

“The matter under investigation by the state is unrelated to his role at UToledo,” the spokesperson said.

“UToledo holds its employees to the highest standards of professional conduct and will cooperate with the state medical board’s investigative processes.”

The State Medical Board of Ohio issued the summary suspension on November 5.

In its explanation, the board stated that such a suspension halts a physician’s ability to practice prior to a formal hearing when there is evidence of immediate risk.

“A summary suspension suspends a license to practice prior to a hearing,” the statement said.

“The suspension must be based on clear and convincing evidence that continued practice by the licensee poses a danger of immediate and serious harm to the public.”

Kelle Saull, an attorney representing the woman, described the case as one of the most “heinous” she has handled.

Saull alleged that both the University of Toledo and ProMedica, where Abbas had accepted a fellowship, were aware of the allegations and failed to act sooner.

“Additionally, the Lucas County Prosecutor’s Office has had this case under review for the better part of a year,” Saull said.

“It wasn’t until the Ohio Medical Board took (immediate) action that my client finally started to get the results she deserves.”

The medical board has scheduled a disciplinary hearing for May 14–15, 2026. Following the hearing, board members are expected to consider permanent disciplinary sanctions.

The board has stated that Abbas currently poses a danger of immediate and serious harm to the public if allowed to practice medicine.
