Crime (Update) Arrest Made in Rape of Ohio 10-Year-Old Who Had to Travel Out of State for Abortion

An Ohio man was arrested Tuesday for raping a 10-year-old girl who became a central figure in the debate over abortion rights after she reportedly traveled to Indiana to have an abortion when Ohio outlawed the procedure last month.

Arrest records and court records viewed by The Daily Beast confirm that Gerson Fuentes, 27, was arrested Tuesday in Franklin County on a felony charge of raping a person under 13. The Columbus Dispatch, who first reported on his arrest, attended Fuentes’ arraignment in Columbus on Wednesday.

The unidentified girl’s plight became national news when the Indianapolis Star quoted a doctor who said a 10-year-old rape victim, who was six weeks and three days pregnant, had been forced to travel from her home in Columbus to Indiana for an abortion. Her home state had a trigger law that immediately outlawed abortions after six weeks once the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

A Columbus Police detective, identified by the Dispatch as Jeffrey Huhn, testified in court Wednesday that the 10-year-old victim was impregnated and had an abortion in Indianapolis.


“The victim went out of state to have a medically terminated abortion,” he said, according to video of the arraignment.

The video showed Fuentes staring blankly during the arraignment and standing with a slouch as a translator relayed the proceedings to him in Spanish.

Court records say the alleged rape occurred on May 12. Detectives said in court that police were made aware of the girl’s pregnancy through a referral filed with the local child services’ branch by her mother on June 22. Eight days later, the girl had the abortion in Indianapolis.

The aborted fetus has since been tested for DNA and entered into evidence, Huhn said, and officials say Fuentes confessed to the rape when he was questioned.

Fuentes’ arrest comes as conservative media claimed the girl’s story was made up for political theater, something parroted by Fox News presenters as recently as Tuesday night—while Fuentes was already in custody.

But those also with egg on their face in light of the horrific crime: the top law-enforcement official in Ohio.

Indeed, state Attorney General Dave Yost spent much of the past week effectively dubbing the story a hoax, suggesting he had heard nothing about any such crime being reported.

“We have a decentralized law enforcement system in Ohio, but we have regular contact with prosecutors and local police and sheriffs,” Yost said in a Fox News segment Monday. “Not a whisper anywhere.”


Yost released a statement Wednesday afternoon that did not address his previous comments.

“My heart aches for the pain suffered by this young child,” he said. “I am grateful for the diligent work of the Columbus Police Department in securing a confession and getting a rapist off the street.”

Dr. Caitlin Bernard, the Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist who first described the rape and its aftermath to the Indy Star, previously told The Daily Beast she expected vindication.

“It will all come out in time,” she said via text message on Tuesday.


Court records show Fuentes is being held on a bond of $2 million. The judge said he was considered a flight risk and, given the brutality of the crime, a high bail was necessary to protect the child involved.

HBD. Those born into higher crime rate families are more likely to continue that crime. SES has little to do with it. It's genetics. Freakonomics was onto something, and so is Steve Sailer.
And it's not a band-aid, it's a crime reduction strategy. You just need to apply it in the right context.

It's a bandaid. It doesn't actually improve those communities. It touches on nothing that plagues said communities. When you screw around with repopulation and the rate becomes unsustainable, you in fact make the community worse-- which means that those nearby it also suffer.

You can't even guarantee that the "higher crime rate families" are also the ones that are going to get their children aborted (how would they even be a "family" if they kill their children?) If you were actually concerned about minimizing crime at all according to this ideology, you'd be calling to establish some sort of system that susses out "higher crime rate families (couples?)" to ensure they don't reproduce.

You aren't. You can't. You can't even say how much "more likely" is enough to push it onto somebody, or how much it should be pushed based on this "more likely".

All you're arguing for is abortion, but you do it while flying a banner of "greater good". This is insipid, and I refuse to believe that such comical and blind inhumanity is a product of someone who's a functional part of any community.

Let them flush their babies, at least it's more humane than being born in a home where they're abused and tortured slowly to death.

"Killing your kids is more humane than killing your kids."

Look at the history of recent mass shooters and how many of them came from situations that could've been easily resolved if the mother aborted the baby or at least had the option to. Look at how many of these street rats who go and commit violent crimes that were born to child and teen mothers? If you want that in your neighborhoods when everything not privately owned becomes Section 8 housing, go ahead.

Or we could just expect parents to do a decent job raising their kids? This is such a reductivist argument. Why not just take part in eugenics? Was Hitler right all along?

Except, conservatives win either way because this is an illegal, who probably raped another illegal. This is normal to them. They're both pregnant. Like aphids.
This guy is a Guatemalan illegal pervert. I just love how leftist media is call them citizens of Columbus.

 

[Zero Day Defense]

Maybe we could punish child abusers!

...oh, wait.

 

[Cpl. Long Dong Silver]

Opened the thread to see a giant mugshot of another mud person. Imagine my shock some spic raped a ten-year-old.

It's like a past time where they are from.

 

[Chandelier]

It's a bandaid. It doesn't actually improve those communities. It touches on nothing that plagues said communities. When you screw around with repopulation and the rate becomes unsustainable, you in fact make the community worse-- which means that those nearby it also suffer.

So...what's stopping that repopulation? What could make that unsustainability sustainable? What could improve those communities?

You can't even guarantee that the "higher crime rate families" are also the ones that are going to get their children aborted (how would they even be a "family" if they kill their children?) If you were actually concerned about minimizing crime at all according to this ideology, you'd be calling to establish some sort of system that susses out "higher crime rate families (couples?)" to ensure they don't reproduce.

We know that those of lower IQ commit more crime and have more children, and are less likely to use birth control methods predictably.

Why, yes, to your second argument: we DID have a solution for that! Voluntary sterilization. That was weeded out because it was 'eugenics' and a 'human rights issue'. There's a trend from the Victorian era where crime rates declined because they hung the criminals, thereby preventing them from reproducing. It's a touchy subject, as you're well aware.

If you want a lower crime rate society, you're going to need some better proposals if SES doesn't cut it.

Let's say a few things plaguing these communities are:
- No fathers in the house
- Not enough welfare
- Not enough education
- Not enough love
- Bad schools
Well, we're kinda sounding a bit like liberals, eh? But in good faith. What are some good policies, in your view, to reduce abortion?

You aren't. You can't. You can't even say how much "more likely" is enough to push it onto somebody, or how much it should be pushed based on this "more likely".

All you're arguing for is abortion, but you do it while flying a banner of "greater good". This is insipid, and I refuse to believe that such comical and blind inhumanity is a product of someone who's a functional part of any community.

So when we notice certain trends, what are we to do with them? What could have stopped this illegal immigrant from raping a child, and causing her to have an abortion when she should be living a normal life? We know better immigration policies, a Wall, and no birthright citizenship could have helped.

He should have raped a child in his own country. Now that poor fetus was killed with the sweet air of freedom. Illegal fetuses can't handle freedom air. It's like acid.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Jesus that poor girl. No child should have to endure it.

Hope they feed him to the general populace because you know they are gonna destroy him (as he deserves). Sick fuck beaner scum.

 

[Butcher Pete]

How are some of you not horrified that these bottom feeders are allowed to reproduce to begin with? Idc if it's "casual contraception," they shouldn't be allowed to breed because I don't want to pay for the government assistance they'll inevitably be leeching off of. Let them flush their babies, at least it's more humane than being born in a home where they're abused and tortured slowly to death.

I’m all for this. “What color is the baby?” should be on the abort and sterilize/no abort checklist.

 

[Ebonic Tutor]

So why is nobody besides me asking the question of why it took til yesterday to arrest them?

This story drops before Tuesday https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politi...o-case-that-looks-anything-like-this-n1612121

And then all of a sudden the next day there is an arrest?

It does come off as the cops CYA-ing.

I also wonder if the rapist was known to the girl and her parents. We'd never really know because it would identify the victim, but it might explain why it wasn't reported right away.

 

[Zero Day Defense]

So...what's stopping that repopulation?

In that scenario, that they're killing their kids like you want instead of giving birth?

What could improve those communities?

What could improve any community? What is it that worsens a community, and how would the solution to it ameliorate it?

We know that those of lower IQ commit more crime and have more children, and are less likely to use birth control methods predictably.

I'll make sure to convert wherever you live into an authoritarian state where only adults with an IQ at least one point above yours will be spared from euthanasia.

I don't imagine many people will be killed from this, strangely. That aside, I take issue with the fact that-- like the liberals-- you can't help but blame something other than the person and the decisions they chose to make.

Why, yes, to your second argument: we DID have a solution for that! Voluntary sterilization. That was weeded out because it was 'eugenics' and a 'human rights issue'.

...what are you talking about? You can get a vasectomy/tubal ligation/hysterectomy in the modern day.

There's a trend from the Victorian era where crime rates declined because they hung the criminals, thereby preventing them from reproducing.

They also executed criminals before the Victorian era.

 

[Un Platano]

Outside the political theater and awfulness of the crime: Why is a 10 year old girl ovulating with the ability of getting impregnated by rape? This isn't nature's design and hasn't been throughout our evolution. How/why/what is fast tracking girls into the womenhood realm while still being child?

Puberty begins earlier in kids today than in did in centuries past. For boys it often didn't begin until about age 16. The conspiracy minded are quick to say it's because they're putting chemicals in the water (possibly the same ones that turn frogs gay), but in reality it's for the same reason that South Koreans are 4 inches taller than North Koreans. People are much better fed in today's society and grow significantly faster than they did in the past. Evolution happened in an environment where people regularly faced starvation and our bodies are adapted to get by in that environment with much less resources than what you have access to today.

Yeah I'd still rather blame seed oils, microplastics, and the gay agenda.

"Killing your kids is more humane than killing your kids."

Quick flush or prolonged suffering? I bet you'd pick the quick flush too. Hell, I'd rather have been aborted.

Or we could just expect parents to do a decent job raising their kids? This is such a reductivist argument. Why not just take part in eugenics? Was Hitler right all along?

You expect a ten year old who was raped to be a decent parent, or people who are carelessly fucking everything with a pulse? Abort the damn fetus, it's the lesser evil.

 

[Zero Day Defense]

Hell, I'd rather have been aborted.

Every single time...

Right, and certain people are born with lower inhibitions than others. They cannot be bothered to control themselves and, as you say, they are 'murdering babies'. What should we do, then?

You didn't really offer any solutions, and I meant it seriously: say all of those issues affecting that community are due to SES, no father in the home, lack of welfare, lack of funds, etc. Ultimately we want to reduce abortion - for you, likely, you want it banned. So we have a case where it is necessary - a young girl who was raped literally into puberty and was forced to undergo an abortion (and in a politically contentious time no less). Then we have cases where it is done for 'convenience'. Without understanding the reasons why women get them, you cannot offer solutions. Because many of them involve things like better sex education, easier access to birth control, and overall an easier process for those would-be mothers to become mothers if they so choose. If you do agree with the above, we are in agreement with this line of argument.

There IS a link between lower IQ people and impulse control. That's not authoritarian - that's noticing trends.

Conservatives want people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and desire to save the fetus without offering easier ways for the mother to keep it. Then, once she does have the kid, she is shamed as a single mother by her community. There is no winning either way.

Oh absolutely, I support vasectomies for men who don't want kids. Though it is harder for women to get their tubes tied or get a hysterectomy because they are told they 'might want kids'. Double standard there.

Yes, but during Industrialization you had an explosion in crime, rape, prostitution. Certain things were done to fix those issues. Hanging rapists before they could rape anyone else and impregnate women is a nice way to do it. I believe it's also fitting for the immigrant rapist.

Every single time...

I grew up in a broken home and now I post on Kiwifarms, I'm the poster child for why abortion should always be an option.

They're fucking FAT LOL

You're not entirely wrong. Great nutrition can sometimes cause early puberty.
