Carencro man accused of giving abortion medication to pregnant victim without her knowledge

Jamelle Kelly is accused of giving a pregnant victim mifepristone without consent, leading to an emergency delivery and a hospitalized infant.

  • Carencro police arrested Jamelle Kelly, 39, on Friday and charged him with attempted first-degree feticide after he allegedly gave a pregnant victim abortion medication without her knowledge, forcing an emergency C-section at 23 weeks.
  • Detectives began investigating on Thursday, May 29, when they learned the victim had received the medication without consent, according to Carencro Police Chief David Anderson, who noted the probe continues.
  • Weighing roughly one pound, the infant survived the emergency delivery at 23 weeks gestation and remains hospitalized as of Friday for an extended period due to extreme prematurity.
  • U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy highlighted the case on Friday, stating, "Men should not be able to obtain this drug and coerce women into abortions," and urged the Food and Drug Administration to reinstate in-person visit requirements.
  • This incident joins two other documented cases of coerced abortion in Louisiana, as the FDA continues a safety review of mifepristone, which is involved in nearly two-thirds of roughly 1.1 million abortions annually in the United States.
