Health Officials Urged to Investigate Possible Abuse at Ohio Abortion Clinic after Abortionist Charged with Child Porn Crimes

Operation Rescue is asking the Ohio Department of Health to conduct a thorough investigation into whether Ohio abortionist Thomas W. Michaelis may have engaged in improper sexual conduct with patients at the Toledo Women’s Center abortion clinic. The request was made in a letter to the director of the Ohio Department of health Richard Hodges dated November 13, 2014.

Michaelis was indicted last week by a federal grand jury on two criminal counts related to possessing and distributing child pornography. He was arrested on Monday and is being held without bail at the Lucas County Correctional Center in Toledo, Ohio, until a scheduled detention hearing on November 25, 2014.

Court documents obtained by Operation Rescue shed more light on Michaelis’ child porn charges and raise concerns that he may have had the opportunity to abuse young abortion patients while working at the Toledo abortion clinic. . .

This disturbing case has prompted concerns for the welfare of minor abortion patients, especially in light of Michaelis’ history of improper sexual conduct with minors dating back to 1991 when he was convicted of Attempted Gross Sexual Imposition, Voyeurism, Public Indecency, all involving minor girls who came to his home to visit his young daughter.

He never served time in prison for his 1991 convictions. Instead, he was placed on probation for five years and ordered to pay a fine of $2,750. In 1992, the Ohio Medical Board indefinitely suspended Michaelis’ license based on his criminal convictions, but unfortunately reinstated it in 1997.
