Police said he confessed to raping the child at least twice, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dispatch.com\/story\/news\/2022\/07\/13\/columbus-man-charged-rape-10-year-old-led-abortion-in-indiana\/10046625002\/\">according to The Columbus Dispatch<\/a>. The outlet noted that police were informed of the girl\u2019s pregnancy after her mother reported it to Franklin County Children Services on June 22.<\/p>\n<p>Columbus Police Det. Jeffrey Huhn testified during Fuentes\u2019 Wednesday arraignment that the young girl received an abortion in Indianapolis. DNA from the Indianapolis clinic that performed the abortion is still being tested to confirm Fuentes committed the crime, he said. The young girl\u2019s siblings are also being tested.<\/p>\n<p>Franklin County Municipal Court Judge Cynthia Ebner set bail at $2 million, saying the suspect is a possible flight risk and danger to the child.<\/p>\n<p>It is still unclear whether Ohio law forced the girl to cross state lines to obtain an abortion, since the pregnancy likely would have caused a health risk to the girl and thus would be covered under Buckeye State law. Fox News\u2019 Aishah Hasnie, citing a \u201csource,\u201d questioned whether the girl was \u201csimply referred to an expert in a different state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Hasnie: \u201cWhat is still unclear\u2026 is whether this girl was forced to cross state lines as the president alleged, or was she simply referred to an expert in a different state.\u201d She notes that Ohio AG Yost said the young girl would\u2019ve been able to legally get an abortion in Ohio.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jerry Dunleavy (@JerryDunleavy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JerryDunleavy\/status\/1546997526775140357?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 12, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ohio Attorney General David Yost, when previously expressing skepticism about the story, said that if the girl had become pregnant, Ohio law would not prevent her from having an abortion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis young girl, if she exists and if this horrible thing actually happened to her, it breaks my heart to think about it, she did not have to leave Ohio to find treatment,\u201d Yost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.10tv.com\/article\/news\/local\/ohio\/yost-questions-report-10-year-old-abortion-case-raises-questions-over-exemptions-to-ohios-heartbeat-law\/530-80c34e15-50ed-47bc-99d5-ccc3d9e9ab46\">told<\/a> Fox News host Jesse Watters.<\/p>\n<p>Following news of the arrest, Yost released a short statement saying, \u201cWe rejoice anytime a child rapist is taken off the streets,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dispatch.com\/story\/news\/2022\/07\/13\/ohio-attorney-general-rejoices-arrest-child-rape-suspect\/10048250002\/\">according to the Dispatch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Yost later added that he\u2019s \u201cabsolutely delighted that this monster has been taken off the street. If convicted, he should spend the rest of his life in prison.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The original story led to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-repeats-story-of-10-year-old-allegedly-needing-an-abortion-that-no-one-has-been-able-to-verify\">questions about its veracity<\/a>, given the scant details provided by an abortion doctor. Multiple news outlets, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2022\/07\/09\/one-source-story-about-10-year-old-an-abortion-goes-viral\/\">including The Washington Post<\/a>, raised questions about the story.<\/p>\n<p>The Dispatch reported that Fuentes allegedly admitted through an interpreter to raping the girl in a confession to detectives. The young victim also reportedly told police that Fuentes was the father of her unborn child. Assistant Franklin County Prosecutor Dan Meyer also testified at Wednesday\u2019s hearing that the girl had recently turned 10, meaning she was probably nine years old when she became pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>Clark Torbett, a Franklin County public defender, said during the hearing that it was unconstitutional to hold Fuentes without bond, especially since DNA testing hadn\u2019t confirmed he was the father. Torbett also said that Fuentes had lived in Columbus for the past seven years and had steady work at a caf\u00e9. An address for Fuentes was \u201cnot at the same location as the 10-year-old,\u201d the Dispatch reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A suspected illegal immigrant in Ohio has allegedly confessed to the rape of a young girl in a case that bears similarities to a widely reported claim about a pregnant child who traveled to Indiana for an abortion.
