Hoo Boy this one kind of muddy situation. On the one hand you have a guy that was already a single father. He knocks up his Ex and she says that abortion isn't an "option". So the guy feels trapped and does a real shitty thing and laces her smoothy with abortion pills. Now they want to give him seven years.
On the one hand I feel bad for the guy. I'm not sure how I would react in that circumstance being backed into a corner and probably facing child support payments.
I also feel bad for the girl who was drugged and lost her baby.
Does this guy deserve seven years behind bars? I think that's too harsh. He probably deserves some form of punishment but what do you really even charge a person with in this situation? Assault?
EDIT:Wow this thread really blew up while I was asleep! Somebody posted an update to the case

Looks like they were originally going to charge him with inflicting serious bodily harm and terminating a pregnancy without the mothers consent which both carry a maximum sentence of 21 years. So it seems like he took a plea bargain for 6 years and was ordered to pay the women 200,000 kroner ($24,100, €22,700) for her suffering.
