Army Officer Sentenced to 12 Years for Secretly Drugging Pregnant Soldier with Abortion Pills
An Army officer who secretly drugged a pregnant junior enlisted soldier with abortion pills has been sentenced to 12 years behind bars, Army officials said.
Capt. Brandon Jones-Adams, 34, pleaded guilty to several offenses, including intentionally killing an unborn child, domestic violence, fraternization and conduct unbecoming of an officer, Military.com reported on July 3. He was sentenced during a military trial at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) in Washington.
Officials said Jones-Adams admitted to covertly putting abortion drugs in the soldier’s drink. Investigators concluded he ordered the abortion drug mifepristone online using a fake name after trying multiple times to obtain the drug from other sources, per the report.
Jones-Adams and the victim met in November 2024 and had a consensual relationship while assigned to the same battalion, which included a nine-month stint in South Korea. The soldier became pregnant in May 2025, according to the report.
Jones-Adams poured the victim a drink on August 21, 2025, at his home in Puyallup, Washington. After she finished the drink, she noticed a residue in the cup and suspected he had drugged her, according to the report. Shortly after, she began having severe cramping and went to the emergency room at JBLM. While at the hospital, she told medical staff she was concerned she had been drugged.
