John Ruben Demeter, 25, stands accused of one count each of illegal performance of an abortion and injury to a child, according to a press release issued by the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office.

"[H]e secretly administered an abortion-inducing drug to a pregnant woman without her knowledge or consent, resulting in the death of her unborn child," the press release reads.

The allegations against the defendant were first leveled in February, when a woman sought medical attention because she believed she had surreptitiously been made to ingest abortifacients.

Investigators determined Demeter had obtained abortion medication online and had it shipped to his home, Montgomery County Sheriff Wesley Doolittle said during a press conference on Wednesday.

Authorities believe the defendant crushed the medication and mixed it into at least one drink that was given to the woman.

"He covertly crushed that medication and mixed it in a water bottle with a liquid I.V. packet, and this was done with this specific intent to cause the death of the child," Doolittle said.

The pregnancy is believed to have been some 14 weeks along when the unborn child was killed, according to law enforcement.

"That baby, Presley Mae, was stillborn at the hospital, weighed about 55 grams," the sheriff added.
