An Ohio man has been charged with impregnating a 10-year-old girl who was forced to cross state lines to get an abortion - a story that garnered national attention following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade.
Gerson Fuentes, 27, was arrested on Tuesday and has been charged with one count of rape after police say he confessed to raping the child two different times, the Columbus Dispatch reported.
The unidentified child made national headlines when she traveled from Ohio to Indiana to get an abortion after the state banned the procedure after six weeks — hours after the 6-3 Supreme Court vote.
Fuentes was arraigned Wednesday, days after some conservatives, including Ohio's Republican governor and attorney general, had raised questions about whether the case was real. Abortion rights supporters had pointed to the story to highlight fallout from the Supreme Court ruling.
The arrest comes one day after the Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said his office didn't hear a 'whisper' about the 10-year-old girl who allegedly had to leave the state in order to get an abortion, and said there's 'no biological evidence' of the case as a rape kit was not performed.
Yost, 65, told Fox News' Jesse Watters on Monday, July 11 — five days after the girl identified Fuentes to authorities and weeks after a child services report was generated — that a police report was never filed involving a 10-year-old rape victim and that the office 'works closely' with law enforcement, indicating that he would have known about it if one was filed.
'We have regular contact with prosecutors and local police and sheriffs, not a whisper anywhere,' he told Fox News.

Just how illegal is the rapist?
Well ... isn't that convenient?
You can believe as much of that as you like, I suppose.
“Just how illegal is the rapist?”
Gerson Fuentes is his name. Extremely illegal.
Illegal enough that the medie opted to commit a sin of omission.
I have his mugshot on mine.
Don’t have a rape kit backlog with a child on the way. Its sad but abortion just allows rape to go unnoticed.
Libtards need abortion to clean up after their illegal alien criminals 🤪
Men have been let off the hook for 50 years in abortion. Sorry Biden. Backfire.
Remember how the left was mad at Trump for saying that there were murderers and rapists crossing the border? Wonder if any of them will say, “Gee, Trump was right!”?
Just how illegal is the Alien?
[There, fixed it.]
Jao BiXiden to blame.
Looks like the rape part of the story is true. The part about being “forced” to cross state lines to get an abortion is false. She could have, maybe did have, an abortion in Ohio. Ohio has no law that would have prevented it.
The caveat here is that she didn’t need to cross state lines. An abortion for her was medically necessary, so justified. This was just to make headlines for political purposes. Of course, they also waited until Yost said something publicly denying it. Columbus is pretty much Democrat these days. Didn’t used to be 20 years ago. Little by little, it changed and Dems took over almost everything.
thank you for posting that mugshot.
Notice how he has that “I don’t give no F*****” look on his face.
Someone wipe that smile off his face.
He came here during the Obama years.
Yep once again they are NOT sending in their best, but hey as they vote Democrat that is what matters
So he was left to wander around until yesterday?
“Act of love” according to Yeb!
