Cleveland Akron, OH, September 25, 2026 —

U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno has formally requested that the Department of Justice (DOJ) review the sentencing of an Ohio doctor facing accusations of forcing abortion pills on his girlfriend. The senator is urging the federal agency to consider bringing federal charges against the physician.

The request centers on allegations that the doctor administered abortion pills to his girlfriend without her consent. Senator Moreno’s office has asked the DOJ to examine the circumstances surrounding the doctor’s sentencing in a previous legal proceeding and to determine if federal statutes were violated, warranting federal prosecution.

Specific details regarding the doctor’s sentencing, including the court, the date of sentencing, the specific charges for which he was sentenced, and the outcome of that sentencing, were not immediately available. The exact nature and timeline of the alleged incident involving the abortion pills also remain unspecified in public records.

Senator Moreno’s appeal to the Department of Justice indicates a desire for a federal-level examination of the case, potentially due to perceived inadequacies in previous judicial outcomes or to address potential federal jurisdiction over the alleged actions. The scope of potential federal charges was not detailed in the senator’s request.

As of this reporting, there has been no public statement or action announced by the Department of Justice regarding Senator Moreno’s request. The doctor’s name and the specific county or jurisdiction in Ohio where the alleged events occurred were not provided in the information available.
