The Dupree Report – A U.S. Department of Justice IT employee has been charged with capital murder after allegedly spiking his pregnant girlfriend’s drink with an abortion-inducing drug, leading to the loss of her unborn child. The shocking case, filed in Texas, exposes a chilling act of deception and its devastating consequences.
DOJ Worker Accused of Inducing Girlfriend’s Miscarriage
Justin Anthony Banta, 38, was arrested and charged with capital murder and tampering with evidence, according to the Parker County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities allege that Banta secretly slipped a drug into his girlfriend’s drink in October to terminate her pregnancy without her knowledge.
According to investigators, the girlfriend had informed Banta in September that she was pregnant with his child. Despite Banta suggesting she use Plan C to terminate the pregnancy, she reportedly told him she planned to carry the baby to term.
The alleged incident occurred when the victim, six weeks pregnant, met Banta at a coffee shop after a medical appointment. She had recently seen a sonogram and confirmed the baby was healthy. The following day, she suffered extreme fatigue and heavy bleeding, ultimately leading to a miscarriage.
Evidence Tampering and Drug Use Allegations
Police say Banta administered the drug while the victim was not looking. They further alleged that Banta attempted to destroy evidence tied to the crime. After police confiscated his phone, he reportedly initiated a remote factory reset, erasing potential proof of drug purchases or incriminating search history.
Banta was arrested last Friday and booked into Parker County Jail. He has since posted bond.
Texas Abortion Laws and Unanswered Questions
This case unfolds amid Texas’ strict abortion restrictions, which outlaw the procedure after six weeks of pregnancy. State lawmakers are also pushing to ban the mailing of abortion-inducing drugs, including Plan C, to Texas addresses.
It remains unclear how Banta allegedly obtained the drug used in this case. Law enforcement continues to investigate the source of the substance and its connection to the miscarriage.
A Devastating Crime With Legal Consequences
This case underscores the real-world consequences of violating trust and reproductive rights. As legal proceedings unfold, justice hangs in the balance for the victim and her unborn child.

Did his girlfriend die or did she just lose the baby as a result of his actions… The headline says he murdered his girlfriend, The article says he caused his girlfriend to miscarry… Since he was arrested and is out on bail I doubt that any one was murdered accept the baby that his girlfriend was pregnant with. The headline of the article and the article should be in agreement with what took place. An experienced Journalist would know that. An in experienced AI app not so much… I have been noticing an increased amount of grammar and spelling errors since the use of AI started… Just saying.
