Authorities have finally verified a claim made by liberal media outlets and President Joe Biden that a 10-year-old Ohio girl fled to Indiana for an abortion after she was raped and could not get an abortion in Ohio. The claim was attributed to Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an Indianapolis physician who is also an abortion activist.
The Columbus Dispatch reported,
Gerson 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.
Det. Jeffrey Huhn testified that the DNA from the clinic in Indiana is being tested against samples from Fuentes to confirm paternity.
During the hearing on Wednesday, Assistant Franklin County Prosecutor Dan Meyer request that Fuentes be held without bond. He also said Fuentes is believed to be in the United States illegally. The Franklin County Public Defender’s office argued it was unconstitutional to hold Fuentes without bond. Bond was ultimately set at $2 million.
Journalist Megan Fox was first to publicly question the story being used by abortion activists to criticize the recent SCOTUS decision to send the abortion issue back to the states. Fox responded to the confirmation by pointing out that the child would have been able to receive treatment in her home state of Ohio.
The Ohio abortion law would have allowed your patient to get an abortion. The AG and OH analysts have confirmed. Why did you claim the child had to leave Ohio for an abortion when that is not true? Can you give me your source for that claim? https://t.co/sqpdVwwQGA

No, the doctor lied about OH abortion law and used a real victim of rape to push her political propaganda. The real story here is that an illegal alien child rapist was loose for 21 days after it was reported that he raped a child. Why didn't the media report that part? https://t.co/nJ8CC7AjfQ
