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.

Amnesty Senators Cornyn, Grahamnesty, Tillis, Hoeven and Rubio singing the siren song of amnesty aren’t helping....
If the mother made a report to Franklin County Children Services on June 22 why wasn’t the child immediately sent to an ER? Why did she go to Indiana 8 days later?
Very illegal.
Joe’s Rapers, here illegally, on Joe’s watch.
Like I said ... believe as much or little as you want. Big Media are pathological liars.
This rape is on them! Each and every one who allowed these illegals to enter/stay/obtain Free$#at, etc.
Yost, not to mention Jonathan Turley, isn’t naive enough to say there was no record if proper police reporting had been done. Once again, the (government) system came up short.
Was he a “dreamer”?
After Slow Joe mentioned the story, I began to think it was true. Afterall, the old man does seem to have an unusual interest in young girls.
Not a whisper was heard about the sexual assault because it was perpetrated by one of Brandon’s visiting guests.
Bet this 10 year old isn’t the only child this slug has raped.
With a driver license and voter registration he has all the rights of a citizen but can't serve on a jury nor be drafted.
When people start noticing that nobody has been charged, and the AG of Ohio even says so, suddenly they run out and arrest some guy?
Sure... they probably found a kilo in his car too.
I have serious doubts that any of this is true. Would they sacrifice one poor schlub to “prove” their falling apart narrative? Not a doubt. Maybe it’s real, maybe it’s not.
CINCINNATI (WXIX) - A Columbus, Ohio man confessed to the rape of a 10-year-old Ohio girl who then became pregnant, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced on Wednesday.
Gershon Fuentes, 27, is being held at the Franklin County Jail on a rape charge, according to jail records. He is being held without bond. His next court appearance is July 22.
Yost said the suspect confessed to raping the 10-year-old girl who then had to go to Indiana to get an abortion following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

What ever happened to the guy that was busted for putting the video on YouTube that supposedly started the Benghazi conflict?
The media is blasting this on all channels - SeE ItS TrUe!
Completely burying the real questions of why the rapist wasn’t charged to begin with - why the doctor violated her oaths and patient privacy. Why the press did such shoddy reporting to begin with.
For the record - I STILL don’t think this is true and it’s a made up narrative all the way up there with Roe v Wade.
Confessions mean very little these days. Nearly, everyone in the USSR sent to the gulags “confessed”. And BTW, I have not heard a confession. I have heard news sources, quoting some DA scrambling to clean up a falling apart story.
How exactly do you “know” what you think it is you “know”?
