A former cadet at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point is being sued by his former girlfriend, who says he secretly drugged her and administered abortion medication without her knowledge, ending her pregnancy in 2022.
The woman, identified in court papers as “Jane Doe,” filed suit against Caleb T. Suh on Oct. 28 in New York Supreme Court, alleging assault and battery and seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
According to the complaint, Doe and Suh were both cadets at West Point when she learned she was pregnant in January 2022. The lawsuit states that Suh repeatedly pressured her to get an abortion while she told him she wanted to keep the baby. He later appeared to support her decision, the complaint says, but allegedly used her identification to open an online pharmacy account in her name and obtain abortion medication without her consent.
On Feb. 4, 2022, Suh brought Doe what he described as a pregnancy protein shake in her barracks room, the complaint alleges. She became sick and drifted in and out of consciousness after drinking it. Hours later she was hospitalized, where doctors confirmed she was miscarrying.
Doe reported the incident to the Army Criminal Investigation Division at West Point in May 2022.
Suh was charged federally in June 2026 and pleaded guilty June 30 to assault resulting in substantial bodily injury to a dating partner. He admitted creating an online pharmacy account using Doe’s identity to obtain the abortion medication, and admitted obtaining Xanax to sedate her beforehand.
“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,” Suh said, according to the complaint.
Suh also admitted deceiving Doe into believing he supported the pregnancy, and acknowledged she later miscarried “as a result of the abortion pills that I had administered without her knowledge and consent.”
After leaving West Point, Suh enrolled at Cornell University, where he graduated in May 2026, and then entered a master’s program at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. A Cornell spokesperson told Fox News Digital that when Suh transferred in, he answered “No” to a question asking whether he had been found responsible for a disciplinary violation at a previous school, and that his prior university had reported he was in good academic standing and eligible to return.
A person with knowledge of the matter told Fox News Digital that Columbia was unaware of Suh’s status until the New York Times contacted the university, and that the school acted quickly once informed. Applications to the school do not require disclosure of prior criminal convictions, according to that person.
Suh asked a federal judge in October to delay his sentencing until January 2027, in part to finish his semester at Columbia. Prosecutors did not oppose the request, and U.S. District Judge Philip M. Halpern granted it.
Doe’s attorney, Russell Kornblith of Wigdor LLP, said in a statement that his client “was forced to endure an unimaginable trauma and was robbed of a pregnancy she wanted, while Mr. Suh has since managed to attend not one, but two ivy league schools,” adding that they plan to “aggressively pursue justice.”
West Point and an attorney for Suh did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
