Ohio Surgeon Accused of Forcing Abortion Pills on Sleeping Girlfriend

Hassan-James Abbas faces six felony charges including abduction and illegal drug distribution after allegedly forcing abortion medication on his girlfriend, risking public safety, officials said.

  • Dr. Hassan-James Abbas, 32, was indicted on Wednesday, Dec. 3, after the State Medical Board of Ohio suspended his license on November 5, 2025, citing immediate danger.
  • After the woman told Abbas in December 2024 she was pregnant and refused, Abbas allegedly obtained pills using his estranged wife's information and his credit card from an out-of-state medication provider.
  • The girlfriend alleged Dr. Hassan-James Abbas held her down and forced crushed powder inside her bottom lip, then she sought emergency care; Abbas told board investigators he administered crushed pills and discarded the remainder.
  • A hearing on May 14 and May 15, 2026, will determine disciplinary sanctions after the board said the suspension is based on clear and convincing evidence of immediate danger.
  • The Lucas County Prosecutor's Office did not immediately respond to PEOPLE and officials said they are not closing the door on future indictments, while the State Medical Board of Ohio full board will decide at an upcoming meeting.
