Man Accused of Slipping Abortion Drug into Pregnant Girlfriend’s Coffee
A shocking story out of Texas—an IT worker for the U.S. Department of Justice is facing major charges after allegedly causing his ex-girlfriend to lose her unborn baby. Authorities say Justin Anthony Banta secretly slipped abortion drugs into his girlfriend’s coffee at a local coffee shop after she refused his repeated requests to terminate her pregnancy.
According to police, the woman began suffering heavy bleeding and exhaustion the very next day. Doctors confirmed she lost the baby, and she told investigators she believed Banta had drugged her drink. But the story doesn’t end there—Banta’s IT background came into play when police seized his phone. Investigators say he remotely accessed the device and performed a “reset,” wiping out evidence crucial to the case.
Now, Banta has been charged with attempted capital murder and tampering with evidence. He was arrested but has since posted a half-million-dollar bond for the attempted murder charge and a $20,000 bond for evidence tampering.
The case remains open as authorities prepare for prosecution. This incident has sparked outrage, raising questions about digital evidence tampering and the ongoing debate over reproductive rights. For now, the search for justice continues.
