A Cabot man is charged with assault after he reportedly struck a pregnant woman in the stomach three times and poured turpentine on her skin.
At 5 pm Dec. 5, the Vermont State Police responded to a report of a domestic altercation in Cabot. Before their arrival, the suspect, George Grant, 38, fled the scene.
Police say Grant had assaulted a family member by striking her and pouring turpentine on her. On Dec. 6, troopers located Grant [reportedly smelling of turpentine] and arrested him in Cabot. Charged with First Degree Aggravated Domestic Assault, he was then lodged at the Northeast Correctional Facility.
According to a report in the Caledonian-Record, the 44-year-old victim told police “that Grant punched her in the stomach about three times with his fist and then poured turpentine on her exposed skin.” Grant was trying to kill her unborn baby, she said.
Grant pleaded innocent in Washington County court in Montpelier.

So will Mr Grants also be charged with attempted murder of an unborn child?
Absolutely not. Unsurprisingly & in keeping with the culture of death VT likes to promote – Vermont does not assign personhood to fetuses – even if they are days or hours from birth. Yet the Dictionary definition of a fetus is: “…an unborn baby…..” Vermont knows “better”.
He could claim it is constitutional as an abortion
Umm…no. It’s not up to him to physically assault a woman to abort a baby.
If she wants the baby, it’s not murder
If she wants the baby HE should be charged with attempted murder.
