Worby obtained the medication from a friend, Neuza Cepeda, who posed as a woman in need of an abortion.

She didn’t think she was taking anything:

The British Pregnancy Advisory Service said women needed to access safe abortions and should not be punished “for the actions of abusive men”.

Mifepristone is one of two medicines used in the chemical abortion process

Worby gave the woman mifepristone crushed up in a glass of orange juice. The next day he administered misoprostol during a sexual assault.

The pills are commonly used together to terminate a pregnancy.
