Arrest made in rape of Ohio girl that led to Indiana abortion drawing international attention
The Columbus Dispatch ^ | 7/13/2022 | Bethany Bruner, Monroe Trombly

Posted on 07/13/2022 9:50:22 AM PDT by chuck allen

A Columbus man has been charged with impregnating a 10-year-old Ohio girl, whose travel to Indiana to seek an abortion led to international attention following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade and activation of Ohio's abortion law.

Gershon Fuentes, 27, whose last known address was an apartment on Columbus' Northwest Side, was arrested Tuesday after police say he confessed to raping the child on at least two occasions. He's since been charged with rape, a felony of the first degree in Ohio.

Columbus police were made aware of the girl's pregnancy through a referral by Franklin County Children Services that was made by her mother on June 22, Det. Jeffrey Huhn testified Wednesday morning at Fuentes' arraignment. On June 30, the girl underwent a medical abortion in Indianapolis, Huhn said.

Wrong

The spin on the story is a total lie

Did not need to leave Ohio to get treatment. Ohio laws allowed a medical emergency exception That what the Hip AG said about the case. He also said he had not heard a whisper of the case and was looking into it

As usual the Democrat Fascist party lie machine is at work here. Total BS spin.

Now the libs are on the horns of a dilemma.

By promoting Abortion with such stories, they highlight the REAL problem: Sexualization of Children....Can you say Drag Queen Story Time?

If you try talking about your sex life at work, see how that works out.
But somehow the “teachers” and “educators” have to share and encourage, and affirm all manner of sexual deviancy. Interesting they never want to inform children about “traditional” values..... They are INDOCTRINATING and GROOMING

Many here need to re-read the article slowly.

The illegal, Fuentes (27 years old), has been in Columbus 7 years and doesn’t speak English.
He works at a local cafe.
His real identity is questionable.
He lived with the mother and her children.
Both Fuentes and the child’s siblings DNA are being tested.

And yes, left wing nuts grabbed the story trying to push their agenda. No details were given because the mother was liable (and a piss poor parent). Yost goes on TV and BOOM, detectives decided they must ‘further’ their look into this case. The goal, embarrass Yost. The article is written to hide the details listed above. The details are there but not focused on. Most of the article focuses on abortion, not the heinous crime committed by the mother and Fuentes or the siblings. The little girl was 9 when she got pregnant.

You CAN say that again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again...

But SHOULD you?

The spin on the story is a total lie Why don’t you just stop lying for a change?

For a change?
Amazing how fast people jump to conclusions.
Not only was I not lying here, I'd like to know when else you think I did.
All I said was that Yost was going around saying (including on TV) that that it was unverified. This is verifiable!
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4077875/posts


"Did not need to leave Ohio to get treament. Ohio laws allowed a medical emergency exception That what the Ohip AG said about the case.

I never say anything contrary to that. I didn't even address those things! Hello. McFly!


"He also said he was unaware of the case being reported and was looking into it"

Basically what I said, but in different words. All I added was that either he has egg on his face, or someone who should have been reporting it and didn't is going to have problems.
Those were his words, that doctors have to report rapes to law enforcement, and that prosecutors and sheriffs haven't heard a whisper about it yet.


"As usual the Democrat Facist party bot lie machine is at work here. Total BS spin."


I've been here for 2 decades and almost never get accused of being either democrat, fascist, or a bot. In fact, if I ever catch any flack at all it's when I claim a libertarian (anti-authoritarian) leaning.


It doesn't make me the least bit happy that something came out to make the lefties happy and act like this corroborates their whole story. It doesn't. However, that doesn't change the fact that it's a bad look. The left made this story live, and yost tried to tamp down the fire. Now it comes out that someone was charge for the rape, and yes, reality sucks, but the media is going to throw a ton of gasoline on this fire.
Oh wait,t hey don't believe in 'fossil fuels' though.

You're attacking the messenger because you don't like the message. I am not supporting the narrative. Just pointing out some unfortunate facts. We are not NPCs here.

True or not, this guy will be held accountable, if only to Biden look good. He is an illegal so he can always disappear.

Let me guess, she was trafficked on her way to the US or inside the US by an illegal alien.

He lived with the mother and her children.

The mother was the girlfriend of this guy.

So sounds like the mother is a piece of a work. We don't really have to say anything more.

Disturbing. The governor can’t find evidence that this actually happened, but the press can? Be skeptical.

Yes. But is she ten?

They lie about ages when getting in.


Yep. Many of these new illegals look the same, too. They’re villagers with a lot of Indian blood. All all around 5’0” and build like a block. Hard to tell a 10 year old from a 18 year old.

“Where did you see that the guy lived at the child’s house.”

———————

Copied from the article:

“ Clark Torbett, an attorney with the Franklin County Public Defender’s office, said it was unconstitutional to hold Fuentes without bond, especially with DNA confirmation of the pregnancy’s father still pending.

He said Fuentes had lived in Columbus the last seven years and had a steady job at a café. He also had an address where he could live that was not at the same location as the 10-year-old. ”

The statement above would not have been necessary if the defendant wasn’t living or at the mother’s house frequently.

“He raped her, TWICE?
Well then, castrate him twice!”

I would prefer to use 50 feet of strong nylon rope to tie his testicles to the rear of a 3,200 horse power Dodge Viper GTS. Throw the Viper in drive, mash the gas and get rid of the problem.

The Ohio AG is wrong it happened to a 13 year old girl in Shenaodoah,Pennsylvania a few years ago.
A 31 year old Mexican was raping her when she would come home from school and she got pregnant. Her mother was working so she was alone.

I do not know if the guy was illegal- but would not doubt it. He went to prison. He insistent the girl was coming after him. Can you imagine that? The scum.

They found the needle in the haystack.

Yep. And I must say I stand corrected. I was 100% certain this story was BS.

There’s a reason they left out the details, however. She was raped by an illegal alien from Guatemala.
