— He climbed on top of me and put his fingers in my mouth. I lay there wondering if he was going to kill me. That was my biggest thought, that he was going to kill me — the potential victim told WTOL 11 TV channel in the United States.

The two – who began dating after Abbas’ marriage ended in October 2024 – had been together for two months. Having discovered his current girlfriend’s pregnancy, the doctor demanded that she have an abortion.

— I told him I had done a test and sent a photo. I was happy to talk about it, but he called me and started yelling at me, said the woman, who refused the surgeon’s offer and said she would keep the child.

According to documents acquired by the Daily Mail, the doctor ordered the drugs from a telemedicine service, in the name of his ex-wife, without her knowledge or consent.

The tablets were delivered to Abbas’s home in December last year, accompanied by an email containing a four-page set of instructions on the use of the drugs, indicated for “pregnancies less than 13 weeks”.

In mid-December, Abbas’s girlfriend messaged him to let him know that she had scheduled her first obstetric appointment for January of this year and that the delivery was planned for August. The doctor then asked to see her in person.

On the night of Dec. 18, the woman woke up to find the surgeon holding her face and pushing “crushed powder into her lower lip, next to her gums,” the complaint states.

“He continued to hold the victim. She struggled to free herself and ran towards the kitchen, where she called for help,” says the document.

In an interview with WTOL 11, the woman said Abbas kept her in a private prison for thirty minutes and forced her to listen to his explanations before reaching the hospital, where she suffered a miscarriage.

According to the Daily Mail, the Medical Council recorded the patient’s information in the hospital file as follows: “The patient was held down by the neck by her sexual partner after he told her the pregnancy test was positive. She claims he forced her to ingest an unknown substance. She pushed him, scratched him and managed to escape to the kitchen.”

The consultation diagnosis was determined to be “vaginal hemorrhage.”

In July of this year, Abbas “admitted” to the Ohio Medical Board that he searched online for the drugs he ordered after his girlfriend announced her pregnancy, and that he also used his wife’s information to obtain the drugs.

“He admitted to crushing the abortion medication to dissolve it more quickly, and also stated that he altered the administration of the medication and did not follow the instructions,” the documents point out.

However, the surgeon told the medical board his girlfriend “agreed to take” the drugs after he admitted “giving her crushed tablets”.

“Abbas admitted to taking his phone and disconnecting the emergency call. He also admitted to taking the remaining crushed pills and throwing them out the window on his way to work,” the Council continued.

The documents also contained a summary of the suspension of Abbas’ medical license and stated that he had violated several Ohio medical codes. In the summary, the Commission also determined that Abbas’ alleged actions constituted serious crimes, including: identity fraud, deception to obtain a dangerous drug, illegal distribution of an abortifacient drug, kidnapping, disruption of public services, and tampering with evidence.
