Caleb Suh, a former West Point cadet, allegedly drugged his girlfriend in their barracks room, administered abortion pills against her will, causing a miscarriage, according to court records and a new lawsuit. Suh then enrolled at Cornell University, graduating in the same year, and is currently a public health graduate student at Columbia University, though his current status there remains unclear.
The lawsuit has brought attention to a case that had unfolded quietly at West Point and in federal court, where Suh pleaded guilty in June 2023 to assaulting a 19-year-old cadet, who was in her second year at the U.S. Military Academy. The woman, who was pregnant, did not want to have an abortion; Suh did. Prosecutors revealed that Suh impersonated the woman to open an online pharmacy account, ordered abortion medications, obtained Xanax from a friend to use as a sedative, and tricked his girlfriend into consuming what she didn't know was drugged.
