The Columbus Dispatch reports:
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.
In recent days, some abortion opponents and news outlets criticized the story as unproven. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost also questioned the validity of the account during an appearance on Fox News this week. Yost, a Republican, told Fox News host Jesse Watters that his office had not heard “a whisper” of a report being filed for the 10-year-old victim. On Wednesday, once news of the arraignment came, Yost issued a single sentence statement: “We rejoice anytime a child rapist is taken off the streets.”
