Man who severely abused pregnant girlfriend gets suspended prison sentence

“If you don’t have an abortion, I’ll do it myself,” the man wrote in one of several threatening text messages to his girlfriend. After the assault, she filed a complaint of aggravated assault, attempted manslaughter, threats and vandalism. Still, they wanted to continue together. Later in court, both she and the suspect tried to downplay the seriousness of the accusations. After he pushed her, she allegedly hit her head against a cupboard.
