  1. A Brookline, Massachusetts, man accused of lying to his ex-girlfriend to get her to take medications to end a pregnancy is scheduled to return to court Wednesday. Officials allege Robert Kawada gave the woman Misoprostol but told her they were iron supplements. She suffered a miscarriage in May during her first trimester. According to the police report, Kawada provided the victim on one occasion with homemade raspberry leaf cookies, believed to be dangerous to women in early pregnancy, and then began providing the woman with pills he claimed were vitamins and iron. The victim said she received a phone call from a person pretending to be a nurse who said her bloodwork showed she needed more iron. When the woman tried calling the "nurse" back for help, she discovered it was an internet-based phone number, which caused her to believe that it was a fake number, officials said. Detectives found the pills the woman was given to be consistent with Misoprostol, a medication used to terminate pregnancies. Prosecutors say searches for the effects of Misoprostol on pregnancies were found on Kawada's cell phone. WCVB5
