Another case in which a man allegedly slipped abortion pills to a woman causing her to miscarry.
David Benjamin Coots, a Washington state nurse practitioner, “is accused of secretly administering abortion pills to his mistress during sex leading to assault and rape charges,” Lesley Cosme Torres reporting for People Magazine.
Yet even with a string of serious charges– second-degree assault, third-degree rape, tampering with a witness and five counts of violating a court order–Judge Stanley Rumbaugh will allow Coots to remove an electronic home-monitoring device on May 14th so he can start a business.
Coots was a nurse practitioner at MultiCare Gig Harbor Medical Park until his license was suspended in April 2024 by the state Board of Nursing.
Background
“The alleged victim was a patient of Coots’, a married father of five who is accused of persistently pursuing a romantic relationship before beginning an affair with her last year, according to the charging documents,” Cosme Torres reported.
In January, when the woman learned she was pregnant, she said Coots was “overly supportive” when she told him, per the charging documents. But on at least two occasions, the woman believes that Coots tried to induce an abortion.
Coots allegedly prescribed misoprostol pills to himself and slipped four of them into the woman’s body during sex, according to the court documents.
Cosme Torres continued
On Feb. 5, David was allegedly “relentlessly” messaging the woman until approximately one minute before officers served him with a protection order, authorities said, per the charging documents. He also allegedly contacted the woman and left gifts and flowers outside her home; he was arrested for allegedly violating his protection order. [A restraining order against Coots was served in February 2024.
Coots recently obtained an esthetician license by the Department of Licensing on April 11, the outlet reported, citing court documents. Coots’ new business would help people with “cystic acne, alopecia, rosacea and hyperpigmentation,” The News Tribune reported.
The New Tribune’s Puneet Bsanti contacted the Department of Licensing. DOL spokesperson Christine Anthony told Bsanti
“State law doesn’t require a criminal background check for cosmetology licenses, but the application asks a person to attest or self-report if they have been convicted of a crime and he checked no. Now that we know the serious nature of the charges against him, his esthetician license is under review.”
“The alleged victim told Rumbaugh the ankle monitor has given her peace of mind as the case also has affected her 9-year-old daughter,” according to Bsanti.
The woman said she would like Coots to stay on the ankle monitor until a decision has been made during trial.
“I don’t know how to explain how terrifying it is,” she said. The woman also said if Coots is taken off the ankle monitor, she and her daughter would leave the state.
“That’s how afraid I am of him coming to my house,” she said.
She should have her head examined for hanging out with an evil loser like him.
Why does the article pussy-foot around and not state outright that he inserted the pills into her vagina? I googled the stuff and it can be admistered in various ways for various treatments.
That's a stretch. All this guy had to do was avoid having sex with a woman other than his wife—he could have cut the risk in half right there; and being a nurse, he could easily have mastered the use of birth control.
Beyond than that lack of self-control in the primary situation, he went on to allow his lust, obsession, entitlement, and fraudulent use of hospital supplies to take over.
People who smoke cigarettes and also hike trails are told to remove their cigarette butts and all other trash — “pack it out.” Yet men who have sex with women to whom they are not committed in a married relationship that welcomes children seem to feel entitled to leave their trash on their trail of irresponsible littering and broken maturity.
Because this is Washington state, I’m not sure that anything is going to happen. Remember, abortion is legal here.
What am I missing here?
Trying to figure that out as well. Are there enough blood vessels inside the vagina to absorb enough of the abortifacient if he manually inserted four tablets and she remained prone long enough to dissolve them? Or is the drug pulverized? Or did he pulverize tablets and mix them in a dissovable lube? Or did he mix them in a milkshake and give it to her when he arrived for a sexual encounter? Journailists today lack curiosity.
There are very few journalists out there at all.
"mix them in a milkshake"
All your enlightened feminist advice could be directed at women as well.
