Why PJ Media's Reporting on the 10-Year-Old Rape Victim Matters
PJMEDIA ^ | 7/13/2022 | paula bolyard

Posted on 07/14/2022 8:25:53 AM PDT by bitt

On Tuesday night we learned that Gerson Fuentes, an illegal alien from Guatemala living in Columbus, Ohio, confessed to raping a young girl who was just nine years old at the time. A little girl who should be playing with Barbies and My Little Ponies and jumping rope on the playground.

When you report on a story like this, you go into it hoping it’s not true. It’s hard to process the utter depravity of someone who would rape a child. It’s our job to read the police reports and the detailed descriptions of the crimes when we investigate these stories, but it’s never easy. You get a sick feeling in your stomach that takes a long time to go away.

In the case of the 10-year-old rape victim, the story was first reported by the Indianapolis Star, which apparently made no attempt to verify whether it was true—or at least refused to back up the story with evidence, leading even the Washington Post’s fact-checker, Glenn Kessler, to call out the newspaper for its thinly sourced reporting. In fact, the story relied on the word of Caitlin Bernard, an abortion doctor/activist in Indiana. She claimed that a 10-year-old had to cross state lines in order to obtain an abortion because Ohio law would not permit it. In fact, Ohio’s heartbeat law has a stipulation that allows doctors to perform an abortion if he or she deems it a “medical emergency.” No court appearance is required, and no judge must be consulted—the doctor has the authority to make that call on his own.

To Democrats, children are just small sacrifices needed to pay for their agenda of multiculturalism and general all around normalization of depravity.

Lots of legitimate questions, few answers, and unlikely to get real answers. Maybe the new press secretary can channel here predecessor and “Circle Back” on those questions.

As for the rapist, I’m OK if he decides he’s now a woman and wants to serve his time in a women’s prison (to spare his sorry ass), as long as he has the bottom surgery.

Here are my two biggest questions:

1. Is the girl an illegal alien, too?

2. If so, how does anyone know her age?

Way too much emphasis on whether the incident was real. It could eventually happen, and most voters know that.

The proper message for peo-lifers: punish the rapist, not his child; and GENEROUS help for mother and child.

I'm shocked that an abortion doctor would lie!

Well done, Paula Bolyard.

Lieberals tout themselves as having concern for women and children, but the truth is they only want to use them for political purposes.

Atty. Gen. Yost combed the police departments for evidence it happened. Not a whisper. Did the Columbus police cover it up?

They went across state lines so they could hide the rapist. Planned Parenthood does untold thousand of abortions on minors and uses the teacher network and doctor network to hide the adult males identity. They get paid by the adult male and they get paid by the government, and they transport kids across state lines all the time to get around reporting laws in the community where the rape occurred.

This would never have been reported if the doctor had just dome it in Indiana. She wanted the story for it’s impact against the Roe vs Wade decision, and didn’t think through what would be looked at later. She transported a a rape victim across state lines to avoid mandatory reporting in Ohio.

And I pray that the mother is talking to a lawyer right now, and sues the doctor and Planned Parenthood until they are bleeding from every orifice.

My take? This girl was part of a sex trafficking ring and various Columbus officials knew about it and even took part in it.

Some of this abortion and minors stuff can be confusing, so I'll see if I can clear it up.

Every state has an argument for or against parent notification laws of abortions in minors. Basically, if a grown adult brings his preteen or teen minor "girlfriend" into an abortion "clinic", the parent notification law of that state would force the clinic to contact the girl's parents and police before doing an abortion. In every state the Dims are against parent notification laws and in some states they win --- which means the sex trafficked victim loses and the rapist wins.

That's the #1 think to learn from this story.

There are a few Hispanic restaurants in Columbus that I would suspect might have illegals working there. The next set of investigations needs to find out where this guy was employed, obviously under the table, or else Fuentes was using a stolen ID.

Maybe the DCF hid it from the police. Illegals involved. Gotta keep that part covered up.

3. Was she really pregnant?

1) Does the "girl" actually exist?

2) How long before the "rapist" is found hanged to death in his cell at the exact moment the surveillance cameras failed?
