Woman who lost unborn baby after Stuart Worby’s ‘callous’ actions tells court: ‘This pain will never leave me’
A “callous” and “selfish” man who gave abortion drugs to a pregnant woman without her knowledge, causing her to lose her unborn baby, has been jailed for 12 years.
Stuart Worby, 40, crushed a tablet into orange juice that the woman drank in 2022.
The defendant, of Dereham, Norfolk, then gave the victim a number of tablets of another abortion drug after using deception to engage in sexual activity with her while she was blindfolded.
The woman, who is entitled to lifelong anonymity by law as the victim of a sexual offence, was 15 weeks pregnant when she miscarried.
Edmund Vickers KC, prosecuting, told Norwich crown court it was “quite clear” that the woman “wanted to have the baby”.
