    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    HOUSTON - A Texas man who drugged his wife’s drinks in an attempt to induce an abortion was sentenced to 180 days in jail and 10 years on probation.

    Mason Herring, a 39-year-old Houston attorney, pleaded guilty Wednesday to injury to a child and assault of a pregnant person.

    Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Catherine Herring told authorities her husband in March 2022 began lecturing her on hydration and offering water.

    She also gave police videos from hidden cameras she installed at her home where her husband was no longer living.

    Mason Herring’s attorney, Dan Codgell, called the plea deal and sentence reasonable.
