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.

Not to defend Lurker but the cops in Ohio did say they got the report from child services on the 22nd.

The point was that it was apparently not reported by the Ohio doctor like it was supposed to.

 

[Lurker]

Called it tho. lmao.

i don't think you're as clever as you think you are, friend.

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

It sounds like Franklin County drug their feet on passing it on, likely because Columbus is a Sanctuary city and illegals are involved.

 

[Lurker]

The first is meant to be accusatory, and yes it looks like bait. I was shocked that their response to my "I'm mad at everyone here" was a dumb instead of a tophat.

nigga cares about stickers. you're a funny dude. you've got jokes!

The plea to blame anyone but the doctor feels really weird and personal. Almost makes me suspect this is a personal acquaince of Bernard.

MY GOD THIS MAN IS A DETECTIVE. I HAVE BEEN FOUND OUT.

also completely unrelated but it is super hard to debate with you lovely people while getting ddosed and it makes lurgur saaaaaaad

 

[X Prime]

Huh. Who knew the definition of debate was changed at some point to an autistic monkey slinging boring crap?

Was this something else changed by the dictionaries?

 

[derpherp2]

According to RAINN, as of March 2020, she should have made the report immediately, so the same day she got the call from Ohio even if the girl doesn't come in. Or I guess the day that the girl came in, if she wants to do a thorough report with photographic evidence. No reason that can't be a followup though.

What part of her job description says she should make the case into a news story and give the rapist a chance to flee before she reports it to the cops?

Jews who hang a wire outside so they can walk around "without leaving their homes" have more integrity than this woman. Neither follow the spirit of the law but at least one the former is autistic about following the word of it.


I'm not so sure it's bait anymore, Lurker seems more desperate to exonerate the doctor than to make us mad.

Note the shift in tone from "shouldn't your indignant rage be directed at, I dunno, the man who raped the child?" to "blame the rapist, blame the mother, but the doctor was just doing her goddamn job."

The first is meant to be accusatory, and yes it looks like bait. I was shocked that their response to my "I'm mad at everyone here" was a dumb instead of a tophat.

But this note recent "[she] was doing her job", "[she] was doing her goddamn job"... It sounds more like someone's world is crashing down and they're trying to reassure themself that they know what they know. The plea to blame anyone but the doctor feels really weird and personal. Almost makes me suspect this is a personal acquaince of Bernard.


Lol seriously, Monday when she got the call or Thursday when she saw the girl in person would have made more sense than waiting until Saturday.

Yes, my point was to make him notice that the mom did the report, not the supposed doctor that recommended this faggot of a doctor -idfk if the doctor part is even true. The first problem in the situation.
*To put it specifically: His attempt at debating with the other guy was about mandatory reporting laws involving the doctor, his shift to BUT OHIO implies he was talking about a doctor doing the reporting. So he was either being disingenious, retarded, or both. I'm leaning with both. The other guy was better at explaining it, so I gave up shitting on him so he doesn't get overwhelmed and spread his autism everywhere. Guess it was too late?

The second situation was the fuckery between the mom, the cps, and the police - something weirds going on there (hence me wondering if the 'mom' was also the mom - but at the end of the day that can be a problem to look into later).

But the biggest and most tangible problem atm, is that this dumb bitch of a woman decided to delay reporting this shit AFTER being interviewed by the news - and while I get patient confidentially is more for doxxxxxxxxing people, it's still a point of contention here that she went to IndyStar of all fucking place BEFORE CPS. And has done similiar child abortion fuckery. And for what? Attention? Activism? She subverted the entire process just for one of those two. And that's both hillarious, and infuriating.
*And his only argument is "She hasn't been fired so she's doing a good job" ignoring the parts where the people making the complaints were a 'far-right' group as this retard would've bitched about, and the most her hospital or whatever the fuck did is investigating themselves and finding no wrongdoing. And then the group was satisfied for some reason?

So while this dumb faggot might have a point about this doctor having a chance of being - in the most technical of definintions, INNOCENT GUISE she is the most vulnerable, and also the most prevalent. Also the most to lose, and thus the easiest to pressure to get the truth out. So fuck her.

i don't think you're as clever as you think you are, friend.

nigga cares about stickers. you're a funny dude. you've got jokes!

lmao mald.
Thanks for making me laugh tho tbh, this entire topic is pissing me way the fuck off.

Is the mom of this kid Jodee?

I'm not sure what if any relationship there is between child services and the doctor, but as things currently stand I don't believe the mother actually went to child services. It just wouldn't make sense for her to do that and then defend the top suspect and not help identify the next most likely suspect.

There is scant evidence that the doctor in Ohio exists but at this point the most logical explanation to me is the mother reported the pregnancy to a doctor in Ohio in order to get an abortion, the doctor in Ohio told child services, child services told the cops, the cops dropped the ball until they made the news. Meanwhile the doctor also contacted the doctor in Indiana, who then went to the media and waited until people started asking questions before doing the Indiana side mandatory reporting.

I'd be 100% willing to say the doctor in Ohio doesn't exist/didn't file a report but then I have to wonder how child services found out about the case.

Autistic nitpicking, the ABC News verbiage only says the mom reported a pregnancy, not a rape. And I wouldn't put it past 2022 journalists to go hurr bdurr we didn't say who she reported to, we're being technically truthful.

Huhn said Columbus police became aware of the alleged rape through a referral by the Franklin County Children Services on June 22 after the girl's mother reported the pregnancy.

 

[Petrusha]

oh my god who gives a fuck what the mandated reporter law says about timelines. If a PREGNANT TEN-YEAR-OLD comes to your office and your first response is to not IMMEDIATELY make sure that the cops know this kid has been raped, you are a terrible fucking person. Is this a difficult concept?

Yes because "MUH ABORTUNS" matters more than a Raped Child.

 

[Ebonic Tutor]

depends on the state.

the doctor was doing her job. vilifying her for doing so is batshit retarded. blame the rapist, blame the mother, but the doctor was just doing her goddamn job.

> doing job

Nigga that bitch knew about this almost a month ago almost and did fuck all till the PJMedia article dropped.

Did you read the article? Going by the article, in Indiana she would have been required to call in a report as soon as possible and provide a written report within 24 to 48 hours. Ohio doesn't require the written report unless it's requested, but still requires a report ASAP. Her goddamn job, as you put it, was to report it ASAP, same as the doctor in Ohio, if they exist. If she did not, she's very likely about to get legally spitroasted by the Ohio and Indiana AGs, especially since she's had complaints about this very thing before.

It was waaaay longer than that time frame as we can all gather.

 

[Lone Outsider]

That kid should never be a mother. Abort the fetus and the rapist. I see abortion has something that is being done too liberally by thots but this child needs to have one ASAP in my books, not to mention the strain of carrying a child when she's not even an adult.

 

[Ralph Barnhardt]

the doctor was doing her job. vilifying her for doing so is batshit retarded. blame the rapist, blame the mother, but the doctor was just doing her goddamn job.

lol no retard. She stood on a ten year old rape victim's back, not to bring awareness to her case but to cry about Roe being given back to the states to decide. She deserves to have her head emptied with 115 grains of lead right along side of the child fucker.

 

[⠠⠠⠅⠑⠋⠋⠁⠇⠎ ⠠⠠⠊⠎ ⠠⠠⠁ ⠠⠠⠋⠁⠛]

it's hard to gauge how much crime Hispanics actually do, because they go hard on keeping outsiders (police) out.

just extrapolate from DUI cases

the question you asked was whether abuse was reported in ohio. it was, by her mother.

"Abuse" wasn't reported by the mother, nor did she dime out the rapist. She went to child services to get help with the abortion so her boyfriend wasn't inconvienced.

The child's mother reported the girl's pregnancy to Franklin County Children Services on June 22, which informed Columbus police, Detective Jeffrey Huhn said Wednesday at Fuentes' arraignment.

It was child services that referred the case to police, with no evidence that they had any endorsement from the mother of the child in doing so.

But on the other hand, knowing that it happens all too often, wouldn't that make the perfect scenario for some random illegal who had been hauled in for say driving under the influence or selling counterfeit watches on the street corner, to be framed and disposed of in order to help Team Blue win this point against the "fundies"?

That's usually such a reach I'd never give the thought the time of day. But clown world has accelerated beyond our wildest nightmares and this "peaceful protest" wouldn't even be their most outrageous coup, if it's true. Reminds me of stuff the Soviets used to do.

Um. Are you suggesting George Soros conspired with a woman to artificially inseminate her 10 year old daughter and frame some random watermelon for doing it to own the conservatives?

 

[Larry David's Opera Cape]

Not at all. I suggest that some lowlife was arrested and pinned with the crime because someone needed to have done it and he was disposable.

Is there a pregnant 10 year old? Perhaps. But there doesn't need to be, for this to work.

 

[spinal gas chamber]

If hating fuckers that rape 10 year old kids is autistic, then I’m an autist. Good to know.

Ah. So a random natural conservative was indeed arrested but actually, if you look closely at the raped 10 year old, you can see she was photoshopped into the video?

 

[Chandelier]

We have laws for that. We always have, in every single society.

This started out as a conversation about crime prevention, and how stupid it is to turn to abortion as a means to it.


t. someone who never worked with a pro-life org

I asked you what we should do with these kinds of people since they have 'low inhibitions' who cannot be fixed. You're taking the moral high ground, so the answer should be simple.

Yes, we have laws, and enforcement of them depends on those willing to enforce them.

"Oh, no, the horror of being shamed for putting my child in a severely sub-optimal circumstance by being careless! How will I ever be able to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of my flesh and blood while people think poorly of me?"

First, the blame is always placed on the woman, and never the man who impregnated her. It's always the woman's responsibility to care for everything. The argument here as you've presented is that it's always murder, always, and that noticing trends on who gets abortions and why they don't use birth control or other methods is advocating for an authoritarian state.

Women in abusive relationships or marriages where their husbands keep impregnating them and they don't have the willpower to say no, or whether their boyfriend or husband snatches or destroys their birth control, has happened and it is common. And from this case in particular, the boyfriend/stepfather raped the easily accessible girl he could find. No matter which way you cut it, a ten year old should not be going through puberty or giving birth.

Now, for shame - there is no winning either way here. A woman will be shamed for being a single mother, despite everyone telling her it was for the sanctity of life.

They make the same warning to both of them.


...but they were still executing criminals up to that point.

So the explosion in crime couldn't have had anything to do with execution or the lack thereof.

The explosion of crime was due to urbanization. Genetic pacification is a thing. Execution and harsh penalties for crime did indeed reduce the crime rate, as did better access to healthcare and education.

I don't care enough about your self-hatred to accept you projecting it onto children you couldn't possibly speak for, especially when you chose to not kill yourself.

That's what always gets me about these types: they tell me that they wish they were aborted... even though they're still drawing breath to tell me that they wish they were aborted.

That's cute, but when I ask you what solutions to be offered to stop or reduce abortion - as you are taking the higher moral ground you aren't offering any. I offered some solutions. So we're back to square one with the insistence it's murder. Banning abortion doesn't make it go away - lots of data on this. You can mitigate it, though.

Lots of people say that. And they can.

Not murdering babies would be somewhere around Step 1.

There are no 'real' solution. It's a cultural problem and killing babies is not a solution either.

Right, and which things can be addressed to reduce abortion?
- Better access to birth control
- Scientifically accurate sex education
- Reversible, non hormonal IUDs
- Better social programs for those in low SES communities
- Better maternal care for those who might want to carry the child to term

Abortion is always going to happen, and we live in the era of CRISPR. So things like Downs Syndrome is going to be a thing of the past - well, not in the US.

What if she didn't get an abortion and carried out the baby?

And now that she had her convenience, she'll never be raped again, living in the exact same environment with the exact same type of people like Mr. Beaner, who would definitely not be more emboldened to rape kids because in case of pregnancy, they could just take the convenient way out.
Now ain't that a solution.

So...the ten year old should have the kid. A child whose body would split apart from giving birth.
"She'll never be raped again" - chances are she will, and since it's been discovered the rapist was close to her family and her mother was running cover for him, she'll be seen as fresh meat. She'll live with that trauma for years, and she'll either be a shut in or a promiscuous teen. CSA leads to a fuckton of problems.

This is not pro life, buddy. She's not a 15 year old teenager. She's ten. She was raped to puberty. If you want to argue a rapist should have greater rights over his genetic lineage than that of a young girl's life, those are some messed up priorities.

Again, she's not a college student. She's not a loose teenager, abused and tossed around as a prostitute. She is a ten year old repeatedly sexually abused.

Did you not say it's a matter of convenience?

A culture thing.

That a meaningless fact, because the overwhelming majority of people are full blown sheep, be they poor, or be they wealthy.
Your whole abortion shtick would only change things if you "aborted" every single poor, low IQ man-negro who doesn't look 'right', instead you'd kill a baby, then let the rot fester onwards. Abortion literally doesn't change shit.

And how would you fix that low IQ culture? Do you think that low IQ culture can rise on its own? It's a self festering wound. If it's a culture problem, then we should address it. Abortion still wouldn't go away, but you would reduce it.

C-c-c-cultural thing.

No its not. Men and women are equal and shit. Women are the ones who say that more often than men. Beat you at your own game.

Not really. We don't get pregnant on our own - men impregnate women.

You have that kind of shit throughout history when civilization begins to thrive more than before. You can hang every rapist you find, no doubt it will put the fear of rope into the ones who slip away, but when you have a culture that doesn't value life to begin with, you'll have people who won't value the sanctity of a 10 year old either.

So we're back to culture. Alright, so what are some things to improve the sanctity of life?
Hanging rapists, deporting illegal immigrants, and creating better maternal care systems would reduce abortion and improve life outcomes for those born. Because, in the states where abortion is banned, there are some mighty high child poverty rates. You can start there.

---

So, based on the interview done, the rapist was close to the girl's family. The child's mother refuses to implicate him. My best guess - and rate me late - is that she knew full well he was abusing her and covered it up. This mother ruined her own daughter. I hope the daughter manages to find safety with other family members.

Ultimately the delay in care and the doctor's floundering for media attention would make me angry, but I think the rapist being an illegal impacted things. American media has a boner for race crimes; they don't want to hear about illegal immigrants raping and impregnating their stepdaughters/daughters.

The sperging about "natural conservatives" is your own. All the information about this case that would actually prove anything is protected (rightfully) by layers of confidentiality. So what we actually know is:

1. Some asshole abortion activist doctor claims that another doctor told her about a 10 year old who was raped and needed an abortion.
2. The AG of the state in question said he knew of no such case.
3. When it started to get awkward, a man was arrested.
4. We are told he is the one who did it.

Now it could be it happened and is real and he is the one who did it. Entirely possible. It's also entirely possible that these superficial facts point to something other than "it really happened the way these politicians and activists claim it did."

My only question then is why would the mother admit it happened? Talking with Telemundo, she had every opportunity just to say that the entire thing was bullshit, her daughter never pregnant, and this dude never raped her kid (she did say this last bit, but makes no sense without denying the first two parts), but she didn't...so...that's interesting also.

And I am not denying that this whole thing is very suspicious. For me it is just the date the pregnancy was discovered. It seemed way too early for 10 year old who may have not even had her first period yet that she knew of to know she was pregnant or for an adult to notice. So the rape had to have been noted before a pregnancy was suspected and just an incidental thing to be found out.

Regardless, 10 year olds cannot and should not be pregnant. It is very likely such a pregnancy would kill a child who also had no say in the whole thing. I am against abortion except in these cases because how can you possibly measure whose life is more valuable than who's when it involves two literal children? Especially knowing that carrying the pregnancy has a high risk of killing both anyway.
