A United States Department of Justice employee secretly spiked his pregnant girlfriends drink with an abortion drug to induce a miscarriage without her knowledge, according to cops. Justin Anthony Banta, 38, who works in the IT department of the DOJ, is charged with capital murdr in Parker County, Texas, for allegedly putting Plan C abortion drugs in his pregnant girlfriends coffee, the sheriffs office said in a statement. The couple found out about the pregnancy in September 2024. The DOJ employee offered to terminate the pregnancy with Plan C pills he would purchase online, but the girlfriend refused, the statement said. Bantas girlfriend was happily six-weeks pregnant when she had a sonogram on October 17 that revealed a strong heartbeat and good vital signs, the Parker County Sheriffs Office revealed. Later that same day she met the IT specialist at a coffee shop and she soon suspected that Banta had spiked her drink with the Plan C abortion-inducing pills without her consent. The following day the woman went to the emergency room with extreme bleeding and lost the pregnancy. Later, she reported the incident to police. Banta was interviewed by the PSCO and his phone was collected as evidence but sheriffs deputies claim the DOJ IT specialist performed a remote reset on the device preventing them from gathering crucial evidence, according to the statement. That alleged IT infraction garnered Banta a separate tampering with physical evidence charge from the PSCO in addition to the capital murdr charge, filed in Tarrant County by the Texas Rangers. It was not clear what sort of punishment Banta faces on the capitol murdr charges, however capital murdr is the only de@th-penalty eligible charge in Texas.
