Ohio 10-year-old's alleged rapist is Guatemalan illegal immigrant: ICE source

The man charged with the rape of a 10-year-old girl in Ohio is a Guatemalan illegal immigrant, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) source told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.

The Columbus Dispatch first reported that Gerson Fuentes was arrested after police said he confessed to raping a child on multiple occasions. He has been charged with rape, and the outlet reported that he was possibly in the country illegally.

The source told Fox that Fuentes is a Guatemalan national in the country illegally and that ICE has placed a detainer on Fuentes, which is a request he eventually be handed over to the agency for removal proceedings.

ICE later confirmed to Fox News Digital that Fuentes is in the U.S. unlawfully.

The story of the alleged rape was initially published in the Indianapolis Star in the context of the victim reportedly having to cross state lines to Indiana to get an abortion due to the state’s laws. It was cited by proponents of abortion access, who highlighted it as an example of the consequences of access being limited. --->READ MORE HERE

Ohio man charged with raping 10-year-old girl who went to Indiana for abortion:

An Ohio man was charged Wednesday with raping and impregnating a 10-year-old girl, whose story of traveling across state lines to get an abortion was told by President Biden following the repeal of Roe v. Wade.

Gershon Fuentes, 27, of Columbus, was arrested Tuesday and confessed to sexually assaulting the child at least twice, according to the Columbus Dispatch.

A detective testified in court that local child services alerted the police about the child’s circumstance after her mother had reached out on June 22, the paper said. The same investigator confirmed that the child was then brought to Indiana, where she was given an abortion.

Authorities are cross-referencing DNA from the clinic in Indianapolis with samples from Fuentes.

Judge Cynthia Ebner set a $2 million bail for Fuentes, who is being held in Franklin County jail and might be undocumented, according to the Dispatch. He is facing a felony charge of rape. --->READ MORE HERE
