Medical Board Revokes License Of Abortion Doctor

TAMPA (CBS4) ― The Board of Medicine has revoked the license of a Florida doctor accused of medical malpractice in a botched abortion case in which a live baby was delivered.

The board on Friday found Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique guilty of medical malpractice and delegating responsibility to unlicensed personnel.

In an administrative complaint, the Department of Health said Renelique was scheduled to perform an abortion on a teenager who was 23 weeks pregnant.

Sycloria Williams was given drugs in advance to dilate her cervix. According to the complaint, she gave birth at a Hialeah clinic after waiting hours for Renelique to arrive. A clinic owner placed the baby in a bag that was put in the trash.

Renelique and his attorney declined comment after the hearing in Tampa.
