Germantown, MD – In the wake of a third trimester abortion death by LeRoy Carhart last week, the Maryland Attorney General’s office has notified the Maryland Coalition for Life and Operation Rescue that is has Carhart and Germantown Reproductive Health Services (GRHS) under an active criminal investigation for illegal dumping, based on complaints made by both groups last year.

This investigation is separate to ongoing investigations into the abortion-related death of Jennifer Morbelli on February 7, 2013, that are currently underway by the State Medical Examiner, the Montgomery Police Department, and the state’s Office of Health Care Quality.

Yesterday morning, David Williams of the Maryland Attorney General’s Environmental Crimes Unit contacted Janet Kotowski, Manager of Germantown Pregnancy Choices, to notify her that an investigation was underway.
