DIY abortion: Sarah Catt pleaded guilty to administering poison with intent to procure a miscarriage of her unborn baby, within a week of the due date

A woman is facing jail for aborting her baby herself in the final week of pregnancy.

Sarah Catt, 35, bought a drug over the internet and appeared in court yesterday charged with taking it with ‘intent to procure a miscarriage’.

She has pleaded guilty to the charge but refused to co-operate with police and detectives do not know what happened to the baby’s body.

Further details of the ‘highly unusual’ case will be revealed when the defendant returns to Leeds Crown Court to be sentenced in September.

Catt has two children, aged 10 and eight, and is still with her husband Stephen, 41, who accompanied her to court yesterday.

The couple have kept the case secret from close relatives and Catt’s father-in-law last night said news of the court appearance was a ‘complete shock’.

He described Catt as a ‘lovely woman’ and said the offence was ‘totally out of character’.

Police revealed Catt had a scan at two days short of 30 weeks in March 2010, which confirmed she was pregnant.

It is not clear whether she had known she was pregnant before the scan.

However, the baby was terminated ‘in the final stages of pregnancy’.

Chief Inspector Kerrin Smith, of North Yorkshire Police, said outside court ‘many questions remain unanswered’ despite a long police investigation.

Police found evidence Catt bought a drug via the internet which is commonly used to induce abortions.

Inspector Smith said the medication ‘could facilitate the labour and delivery of a child’.

She said: ‘The evidence shows this to have happened in the final stages of pregnancy within the last week of the due date that this baby should have been born.

‘Throughout this investigation [Catt] has claimed that this pregnancy was terminated legitimately even though that would not be legally possible.

‘A legal termination can only be carried out up to 24 weeks in normal circumstances unless there are dire medical requirements to go beyond this. There were none in this case.’

Catt pleaded guilty to a charge under Section 58 of the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act, which in theory carries a maximum life imprisonment sentence.

Her charge stated that ‘between March and June 2010, being a woman with child, you unlawfully administered to yourself a poison or other noxious thing with intent to procure your own miscarriage’.

ABORTION LAW

It is legal to have an abortion in the UK during the first 24 weeks of pregnancy so long as certain criteria are met.

The abortion must be performed in a hospital or specialised licensed clinic. Two doctors must also agree that it would cause less damage to the woman's physical or mental health than continuing with the pregnancy.

It can only be performed after 24 weeks if the woman's life is at risk, or there is a substantial risk the child would suffer serious physical or mental handicap.

Chief Inspector Smith said, despite the guilty plea, Catt had refused to tell police what happened. ‘To date no remains of that pregnancy, nor body, nor child has been traced,’ she said.

Mr Justice Maddison adjourned sentencing for a psychiatric report to be carried out, commenting: ‘There are highly unusual circumstances here.’

The defendant was released on bail. Catt, who works in a solicitor’s office, lives in a £200,000 house in Sherburn in Elmet, North Yorkshire, with her family. She and her husband, who works for a street lighting firm, have refused to comment.

The couple met at a pub where Catt worked as a barmaid and married in a ceremony on the Caribbean island of Antigua in 2009.

Roger Catt, 67, her father-in-law, said: ‘It’s totally out of character. She’s a lovely woman. I would never imagine her to do anything like this.

‘She has two lovely children she adores. She would not want to put that in jeopardy or Stephen. She has always been a doting mum. It is a complete shock to us.’

He added: ‘We are not aware of any problems in the marriage. We had no idea about what has happened and did not know there was a court case.

‘As far as we were aware everything was hunky dory and still is.’

Oh my God. What? Was not her husbands? Still no excuse.
She made it so far, ffs! She knows about safe haven!! Cunt.

Fucking disgusting. The baby would have been born alive at 32-39 weeks unless I am missing some poison connection here. People have no fucking sense.

The thought of the perfect little baby she must have seen and killed makes me sick. gross.

From a guy's perspective (and I believe life begins at conception) I am honestly confused as to why this would be illegal if abortion is legal at all. Crazy world.

[candymosh]

Because the baby is viable outside the womb at that many weeks

[juliemd]

what the hell is wrong with people? she didn't give a reason? wonder how the police found out about her doing that, it doesn't specify. I know it says they found evidence of her getting the drug to do it, but wonder who let the cat out the bag?

Here's a picture of the baby killer. She looks like a bitch! My, what big feet she has!

She could have gone one week and given the baby up for adoption.

Also an ultrasound of a baby at 2 days shy of 30 weeks, (not her!).

murder and i hope they deal with it as such.

[DiamondSmiles]

Maybe she didn't know she was pregnant until that moment, lol! She could have forgotten after 8 years, right?

I doubt it!

I won't even watch that show!
