A Massachusetts man was arrested and charged after the Middlesex district attorney said he secretly gave a woman medication to end her pregnancy.
Robert Kawada, 43, of Brookline has been charged with poisoning, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on pregnant person and assault and battery on a household or family member.
Officials claim Kawada told the woman he was in a relationship with that he was giving her iron pills and vitamins to take during her pregnancy. Instead, officials believe, he was giving her Misoprostol, which is commonly used for an abortion.
The woman then had a miscarriage, officials said.
Kawada was arrested by Watertown Police on Friday. He is expected to be arraigned in Waltham District Court on Tuesday, May 28.
