A former middle school principal in Indiana has been arrested for allegedly seducing and impregnating a minor student whom he later took for an abortion at Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

According to WANE-TV<\/a>, Peter A. Downey, 58, is facing two counts of felony child seduction for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a high school student who had an externship at New Haven Middle School in Fort Wayne, where he was the principal at the time. A probable cause affidavit<\/a> filed Thursday in Allen Superior Court revealed that he first kissed the girl in his office when she was 16 years old, and committed statutory rape upon the victim three months later in his mother’s home. He then brought her to various hotels in Fort Wayne, as well as to his own home and the middle school building, to continue his sexual abuse.<\/p>\n

His victim told police that when she became pregnant by Downey in 2008 at age 17, Downey drove her to a Planned Parenthood abortion facility on North LaSalle Street in Chicago for an abortion. This Planned Parenthood location has a history<\/a> of botched abortions. The victim was able to provide police with the records from that abortion at Planned Parenthood which had both her and Downey’s names on them. Downey’s ex-wife said he was with the victim while she herself was giving birth to their daughter \u2014\u00a0and confirmed that the phone number listed on Planned Parenthood’s records was the landline to the couple’s home when they were married.<\/p>\n

WANE-TV said it is not known why it took so long for charges to be brought against Downey, and noted that the “relationship” ended in 2013. Planned Parenthood has a long history of failing to report<\/a> the abortions of underage girls despite the fact<\/a> that it is a mandated reporter<\/a> of even suspected<\/em> sexual abuse.<\/p>\n

Live Action’s Aiding Abusers investigation revealed<\/a> evidence of Planned Parenthood’s participation in covering up child abuse and protecting abusers in order to financially profit from their victims’ abortions. Testimonies from victims, state health department records, testimonies from former Planned Parenthood staff, undercover investigations, and a Loyola University study on sex trafficking all prove that Planned Parenthood has a horrible habit of protecting child sexual abusers.<\/p>\n
