Tampa authorities arrested a doctor’s son and charged him with deceiving his pregnant girlfriend into believing the abortion pill she was taking was an antibiotic.
According to a federal arrest affidavit, John Andrew Welden tricked his girlfriend into taking an abortion pill, which resulted in the death of their unborn child.
On Tuesday, Welden, 28, was charged with first-degree murder in the death of the six-week-old fetus, and product tampering. He was denied bail on Wednesday.
Though the 6-week-old fetus is not considered medically viable, the age of the fetus is moot under federal law.
“If someone kills an unborn child while committing a federal crime, it’s considered murder,” Tampa lawyer Todd Foster told ABC News.
According to court documents, Welden’s girlfriend, Remee Lee, 26, was excited upon learning that she was pregnant with Welden’s child. But Welden didn’t share her joy.
“I was never going to do anything but go full term with it, and he didn’t want me to,” explained Remee Lee, 26, who is now Welden’s ex-girlfriend.
When Lee told Welden she was pregnant, Welden sent Lee to see his father, an obstetrician and gynecologist.
The next day, Welden called Lee and told her his father diagnosed her with an infection and that he prescribed the oral antibiotic Amoxicillin to treat the infection.
Authorities say Welden forged his father’s name on a prescription for Cytotec, an abortion pill. He then switched the labels on the bottles of Cytotec and Amoxicillin.
On Easter Sunday, Lee experienced vaginal bleeding and severe abdominal cramping. She went to a local hospital, where she was told her fetus was dead.
Lee said she showed doctors the medications she was taking. But the doctors knew right away that the shape and color of the pills were not consistent with the antibiotic Amoxycillin. Doctors later determined that the pills were Cytotec.
Welden confirmed to Lee that he had given her Cytotec to induce an abortion.
“He came to my house with the pills, his weapon of choice,” Lee said.
“He told me to keep taking them. I was supposed to take three a day for days,” she recalled Welden saying.
Lee told ABC Action News that she did not confirm the diagnosis of infection or the Amoxycillin prescription with Welden’s father because she believed Welden was the “love of her life.”
“He used this pregnancy as my Achilles heel. He knew I wanted to do what is best, so that is why I took [the pills],” Lee said.
Welden’s father was not charged with any wrongdoing.
Lee is suing Welden for punitive damages, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. She is seeking a minimum of $15,000.
Welden faces life in prison if convicted of all charges.

While I’m not excusing his actions but she’s an idiot. Why would she go to his father? My fellow Floridians please stop embarassing us
SMH!! He’s gonna be the example.

WHAT YOU SAID
I don’t see an issue with her going to the BFs doctor, the issue I see is her not confirming with the doctor why she had to take Amoxcilin. It’s very important to lookup how your pills look before taking them. Disnt she read the label. It disnt say Amoxcilin. It probably said the name of the abortion pill. Sad.

Question? When a doctor prescribes something for you, the pill label should have your name on it #1 So did he just have a stash of pills laying around or something and switch those labels, and couldn’t she get in trouble for taking the medication, I’m confused
cause this story is missing something, and her dumb ass should be partly at fault too 
I wish women would stop wearing them long azz fake eyelashes. Yeah she’s an idiot.
Sorry but if that’s the supposed mother of his child…the child was better off not being here. Good grief she is SPECIAL (for lack of another term)
Sooooooooooo, she didn’t think that it was weird that her diagnosis was discussed with her bf instead of her. Straight up HIPAA violations!!! Then this the puzzay doc at that!
Hello all!
It’s very important to lookup how your pills look before taking them. Disnt she read the label. It disnt say Amoxcilin. It probably said the name of the abortion pill. Sad.
^^ They said he switched the labels.. That’s really the reason he can get charged with murder cuz it’s a federal crime to tamper with the products/labels.
That young lady don’t look 28. This story really doesn’t make much sense. Did she get this from a pharmacy or the office. The son look line he do drugs so you really gone believe him over a health professional?!
damn thats a crazy case but oh well its still my bday lol
Tisch
Hell did the dude father (the doctor) not tell her she had a infection ?
I mean wth ….. Or did she tell the dude her symptoms, and he told his father about it and then the father decides to tell her to take amoxicillan,
What he did is messed up and yes do the crime do the time, but you mean to tell me this chick is just popping pills without a official perscription and diagnosis, can’t she get in trouble too,
He sure went through a lot of trouble to get rid of this baby. Just tell me you don’t want to be a daddy. .

************************************
It wasn’t her bf’s doctor it was his dad who’s also an OB GYN. To me that’s weird having your boyfriend’s father looking at your cookie. As for the dad that’s a conflict of interest I would have referred her to another dr
So we not gonna talk about this picture at all? We just gonna let it slide?

We have “monitors” here. Where you are supposed to stay BEHIND and make sure no one uses the elevators, people know where the safe elevators were, and that everyone is out. Who da phuck you think going to do this in the midst of some real ish? I’m out!!!!
This story seems really off, but yeah dude need to be in trouble if he tampered with the meds
I’m confused bout the rest cause honestly if you go to the doctor bout a damn cold, they are going to tell , sinus infection, respitory infect, or cold, (confirmation ret there) then they will tell what you need to take to get better, hand you a perscription to get filled.
Trend!
How’s my baby?

Her eyelashes just annoyed tf outta me
his ass shoulda used a condom…folks have lost their damn minds in this here world
This broad is dumb. He could have saved the federal offense and just told her dim ass it was a multivitamin tailor made to prevent morning sickness.
Smdh. He probaly didn’t want the financial responsibility of raising a child….Sometimes it doesn’t pay to be cheap.
I’m GLAD he’s going down.
Wow. This is some serious Shiat. He clearly wasn’t ready to be a father. Maybe she was trying to trap him.
