Two days after Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost (R) appeared on Fox News to question then-unsubstantiated claims that a 10-year-old rape victim had to cross state lines to seek an abortion, authorities in Columbus announced they'd arrested a 27-year-old man for the heinous crime.
Gershon Fuentes, 27, confessed to raping the child on at least two occasions. Per a source at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Fuentes is a Guatemalan national living in the U.S. illegally.
The case was referred to the Columbusย Division of Police (CPD) after the 10-year-old's mother contacted Franklin County Children Services. The mother contacted child services on June 22. Her daughter underwent a medical abortion in Indianapolis eight days later.
According to some reports, the girl had to go to Indianapolis because she was three days past Ohio's new six-week abortion law.
DNA from the Indianapolis clinic is being tested to prove Fuentes' guilt scientifically.
The Daily Wire further reports:
Franklin County Municipal Court Judge Cynthia Ebner set bail at $2 million, saying the suspect is a possible flight risk and danger to the child.
It is still unclear whether Ohio law forced the girl to cross state lines to obtain an abortion, since the pregnancy likely would have caused a health risk to the girl and thus would be covered under Buckeye State law. Fox News' Aishah Hasnie, citing a โsource,โ questioned whether the girl was โsimply referred to an expert in a different state.โ
Following news of the arrest, Yost released a short statement saying, โWe rejoice anytime a child rapist is taken off the streets,โย according to the Dispatch.
Yost later added that he's โabsolutely delighted that this monster has been taken off the street. If convicted, he should spend the rest of his life in prison.โ
Multiple outlets, including The Washington Post, expressed skepticism over the story before Wednesday's revelations.

Did you say illegal immigrants,once again biden and his polices have wronged America,when can impeacment begin?Do you wonder at all why millions of barrels of oil are being shipped to China from our US National reserve is not a national security risk to our Nation?ย It’s your oil also paid for by American tax payers.ย China first policy are failing across both parties.ย Traitor or Trader ?
There is massive treason being committed against the US by democrats in federal office.
What happened to treason? Oh, that’s right, we don’t prosecute for laws on the books…
Question – could all those phone frauds, credit card thefts and private information thefts be connected to the illegals that are being hurried across the border?
Ah yes, another of the fine upstanding unregistered democrats.
With Epstein dead and Weinstein and Ed Buck in jail, DIMMs need to “recruit” some new perverts! Why not bring in some from Central America?
To keep Creepy Joe company after all he missed out of a shower playtime.
Another Guat who came to squat
There is no doubt under these circumstances the girl would have been able to get an abortion in Ohio, only a moron would think differently. So biden, in his typical fashion, took a took an event and made it a half truth by then adding his fantasy version to fit his agenda. He is an habitual liar !!!!
and don’t forget plagerist bum.
Something fishy about this…Columbus Dispatch reporting? OKAAAAAY!! LOL!
But “…According to some reports, she had to go to Indianapolis because she was three days past Ohioโs new six-week abortion law….”
๏ปฟTHREE DAYS? So the alleged mother knows the exact date of the rape? What medical professional can pinpoint the date of conception that closely?!
And yet, they keep allowing the illegals pour across our border! This atrocity is on BIDENโS hands! Close the border, deport ALL illegals and finish the wall! This is OUR country, NOT theirs! Expect more of this if something isnโt done.
Vote them out. Every single one of them who opened our doors and allowed these illegals to ruin our country.
All of a sudden, there was an investigation and arrest, after weeks of fake news about an alleged โcrimeโ? And now look; amazing; an arrest of a non English speaking perp.
Rapists, the democrats kind of people!!!!
The claim that this case was referred to the Columbus Division of Police (CPD) after the 10-year-oldโs mother contacted Franklin County Children Services. The mother contacted child services on June 22, but there was nothing that the Ohio state’s AG accessed on 7/11/22 that even hinted of any report from either Columbus police nor the franklin county Children services which is MANDATORY!ย NOW 7/13/22 an Illegal alien is arrested and CONFESSES to the rape?ย This is a massive Media set up.
This probably would have NEVER HAPPENED HAD BIDEN FIXED THE BORDER!!!!!!! SO BIDEN STOP BLAMING THE SCOTUS!!!! ITS YOUR FAULT BIDEN AND OBAMA!!!! NEXT THE TERRORIST WILL BE BLOWING UP S AND BIDEN WILL BLAME TRUMP!
They know how to do nothing except blame Trump. They are worthless. Deport them all along with the illegals.
Biden allowed this monster and thousands of others into our country. He’s never protected the American people.
Let some more in Joe. They are destroying our country and you just open the door and tell them to come on in.
Did the Babalon Bee write this humor? This is the biggest FAKE NEWS I’ve read in a while. Absolute horse apples.
