Wisconsin Man Faces Charges in Miscarriages
APPLETON, Wis. — Authorities have arrested a married man they say caused his girlfriend to miscarry twice by slipping her an abortion drug.
Manishkumar M. Patel, 34, of Appleton, was expected to be charged Thursday afternoon.
The woman already had a 3-year-old child with the man, who was married to someone else, Outagamie County sheriff's Capt. Michael Jobe said at a news conference. She became pregnant two more times, but miscarried in December and September, he said.
Apparently suspecting she had been slipped mifespristone, the abortion pill also known as RU-486, the woman had a blood sample sent to a California lab for analysis, Jobe said. When it tested positive for the drug, she approached the sheriff's department November 1. The man was arrested Wednesday.
Sheriff's officials said charges against Patel could include attempted first-degree intentional homicide of an unborn child, burglary, stalking and violating a restraining order. Prosecutors, however, would not say what charges they intended to file.
Patel's attorney, Thomas Zoesch of Appleton, declined to comment Thursday, saying he hadn't seen the criminal complaint.
The man had been living in a house owned by the woman, Jobe said. It wasn't clear where his wife was.
Sheriff's investigators said the man admitted putting the drug in something the woman consumed without her knowledge. Jobe didn't say how she ingested the drug.
