A married Washington nurse is accused of forcing abortion pills inside his pregnant girlfriend after he allegedly groomed when he met her as a patient.
David Benjamin Coots, 49, was arrested on March 11 and charged with assault, rape and witness tampering.
The nurse, who is married with five children, was employed at the MultiCare Gig Harbor Medical Park in Gig Harbor, Washington. His staff page has been removed.
Coots' wife Melissa is also accused of witness tampering after she and Coots allegedly turned up at the woman's home and offered her money in exchange for not pressing charges and seeking medical treatment as 'they didn't want their lives ruined', charging documents stated.
Coots allegedly met the woman, who has not been identified, around a year ago, when he was her primary-care provider during a time she says she was vulnerable.
Charging documents claim that he then manipulated ways to keep seeing the patient, until he obtained her phone number and asked her on a date.
They then began a romantic relationship and she fell pregnant after around a year of the two seeing each other. Coots is married and has five children, but the patient claimed he told her he was getting a divorce.
When confronted with the news that she was pregnant, prosecutors say that Coots pretended to be supportive, at one point allegedly asking her 'what type of stroller they should get.'
'He acted extremely supportive and thrilled for our future. I am shocked and disturbed by the planning and deception that went into his attack on me and our unborn child,' the woman wrote in a statement to the court.
With the woman planning to keep the baby, he allegedly plotted to force a miscarriage by slipping abortion pills inside her while they had sex.

It is an unfortunate Britishism.
Sort of mirrors the way the native British as a people have an external locus of control and take no responsibility for what happens to them.
‘’she fell pregnant’’.
Wow. So that’s how that happens?
Gee I didn’t know that. Boy I’m sure glad I come here. I learn new stuff every day.
Like Biden saying how Mexico is next to The Gaza Strip.
I wish I had been taught that back in school.
