An Ohio man has been arrested and charged with raping a 10-year-old girl whose out-of-state abortion drew national headline amid the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Gershon Fuentes, 27, was arrested Tuesday and ordered held Wednesday on a $2 million bond, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
The young girl, who has not been publicly identified, was first written about on July 1 by the Indianapolis Star in an article about women traveling for abortions. The girl had been denied health care in Ohio, one of the first states to ban the procedure after six weeks, with no exceptions for rape or incest. Three days past the six-week mark, the girl went to Indiana instead.
