A U.S. Army captain will serve 12 years in military prison after he pleaded guilty to secretly slipping his pregnant girlfriend, another soldier, a mail-order abortion drug that killed their unborn baby.
Capt. Brandon Jones-Adams impregnated a junior enlisted soldier when the two became romantically involved on rotation in South Korea in May 2025. A couple of months later, the pair was reassigned to Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington.
It was there in August 2025 that the 34-year-old captain, in what army prosecutors called a “deliberate, calculated, and malicious” act, spiked his partner’s drink with abortion drugs that sent her to the emergency room with severe cramping. The soldier reportedly suspected that Jones-Adams drugged her after noticing residue in the bottom of her cup.
According to a forensic examination of Jones-Adams’ phone, the captain tried repeatedly leading up to the poisoning to obtain the most popular chemical abortion means, mifepristone, “from other sources.” When those failed, he enlisted a fake name to order the abortion pills online, a move only made possible by the Trump FDA’s continuation of the Biden administration’s radically relaxed mail-order abortion pill policies.
