he Columbus Dispatch reported on Wednesday that police arrested a 27-year-old undocumented Ohio man, Gerson Fuentes, after he confessed to raping a 10-year-old girl, which resulted in pregnancy. The viral story of the child who needed to seek an abortion out of state after Roe v. Wade was overturned was reported vaguely by the Indianapolis Star and was used as a political weapon to go after Republican legislators who advocate for abortion restrictions.
I reported on glaring errors and omissions in the reporting in the Indianapolis Star, which led to fact-checks by multiple news organizations, including Snopes and the Washington Post, neither of which could confirm the original claim. The single source behind the report was Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an activist abortion doctor who was in the media often advocating against abortion restrictions. Bernard refused to clarify whether or not she had reported the alleged crime to authorities, leading to a media frenzy that peaked on Monday night on Jesse Waters’ Primetime show on Fox News, where Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said he was unable to find any reports of the rape of a 10-year-old in Ohio.
Yost also refuted Bernard’s claim that the child had to go to Indiana for an abortion, saying the situation would have been covered by emergency exceptions in Ohio’s heartbeat law.
The day after the attorney general’s appearance on Fox News, the alleged rapist was arrested and confessed to Columbus Police. According to the report, the Franklin County Department of Child Services received a report of the incident on June 22 from the child’s mother. It is not known how long it took DCS to give that report to the police, but the fact that the suspect was not arrested until after the story went viral raises questions.

Well......Joe let him in so....
How can a10 ye old get pregnant?
The perp is claiming his name is Jose Bidencia and he has a paso libre because he is a member of the partido politico Democratico.
Amazing timing, regarding the arrest. The AG should go on FOX everyday to discuss rape cases.
So, were authorities looking for a rapist before all the publicity?
Same way as a 20 year old.
The youngest human female to give birth was less than six years old.

Maybe the same way those ‘teenage’ boys come across the border.
A 10 year old pregnant from a rape. Doesn’t seem mathematically probable to me.
It would be an unusual exception.
Since Roe was overturned just a few weeks ago, when did the incident occur, when was it discovered, and when was the perp arrested? Finally, are victim and perp related?
no matter WHEN he snuck in, Biteme gave the Vorder Crisis great publicity!
The usual social worker response is :”It’s a cultural thing; they don’t think it’s so bad...”
I would have bet my pension that there was no 10 year old, no rape, and no rapist.
I’m not paying out just yet.
“How can a10 ye old get pregnant?”
Some girls start menstruating as early as 9 years old. Both my daughters did and they were not happy about it either.
Wow, when I was a youngster 12 was considered early. I wonder if it has anything to do with hormones in the food.
Could be the guy is a scapegoat (paid or unpaid) to give legs to the narrative. If he gets spirited out of the country and shuffled down the rabbit hole (or ends up Oswalded), we’ll know.
When Mexico sends their people, they’re not sending their best.
