A West Point cadet drugged his girlfriend to force an unwanted abortion. Then he graduated from Cornell

Key Points:

• Caleb Suh, a former West Point cadet, pleaded guilty to drugging his then-girlfriend and administering abortion pills against her will, causing a miscarriage; the victim has filed a lawsuit against him in New York.
• Despite his guilty plea in June 2024, Suh transferred to Cornell University, graduating in 2024, and later enrolled in a public health graduate program at Columbia University, with his current status there unclear.
• The woman reported the assault to West Point in 2022, but details about any disciplinary action by the military academy remain undisclosed; Suh was federally charged in Manhattan in June 2024.
• Cornell stated Suh did not disclose any prior disciplinary violations on his application and was reported by West Point as in good academic standing; he was involved in public health research and briefly worked at Cornell’s medical school.
• Suh’s sentencing has been postponed until January 2025 to allow him to finish his semester at Columbia, while the victim’s lawyer hopes the lawsuit will prevent similar incidents in the future.
