Former West Point cadet sued over alleged drugging, forced abortion of ex-girlfriend: ‘Horrifying’

Former West Point cadet Caleb Suh is facing a civil lawsuit seeking unspecified damages over an incident in which he drugged his then-girlfriend and gave her abortion medication without her consent, causing a miscarriage. The woman, who was also a cadet and wanted the baby, says in the lawsuit that she was left incapacitated and later needed hospital care.

Suh pleaded guilty in June to assault causing substantial bodily injury to a dating partner and is awaiting sentencing. He told a judge he used her identity to order abortion pills, obtained Xanax and disguised it in a drink before administering the pills while she slept. The lawsuit was filed on 28 October; Suh’s sentencing has been postponed until 21 January 2027, and he has studied at Cornell and Columbia since the 2022 incident.
