Gerson Fuentes Wiki – Gerson Fuentes Biography

The psychopath who raped a 9-year-old Ohio girl who crossed state lines to get an abortion has been sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after the victim’s family “begged” for a lesser punishment. Gerson Fuentes, 28, received a plea deal that allows him to apply for parole after serving 25 to 30 years since he confessed to raping and impregnating the then 9-year-old girl in a case that reignited the national debate about the right to abortion.

Common Pleas Judge Julie Lynch said the victim’s family pleaded with her to accept the plea deal, which she called a “very hard pill for this court to swallow.”

Charges on Gerson Fuentes

The maximum punishment would have been life in prison without parole. Either way, Fuentes, who is an undocumented immigrant, will have to register as a sex offender. If he is eventually paroled, he would likely be deported to his home country of Guatemala, since he is in the US illegally, according to authorities.

“Anyone who has been in this courtroom for the last 20 years knows how this court feels about these babies, young people, being raped,” Lynch said. “However, today, at the request of the family, this court will be sentencing without comment.” The judge added that the deal will prevent the girl from reliving the trauma of her rape by having to testify in court during a trial.

The victim’s mother previously defended her daughter’s rapist when a Telemundo reporter approached her at her Columbus apartment, which was also listed as Fuentes’ home. “Everything they are saying against [Fuentes] is a lie,” she said in Spanish as she hid behind the door of her apartment.

However, the woman’s daughter told investigators that Fuentes had raped her, and her DNA tests confirmed that he was the father of the aborted fetus. The mother, who declined to give her name, said her daughter was fine and said she was not the person who brought the charges against Fuentes.

The stomach-churning abuse made national headlines when President Biden cited it as evidence of the horrors of anti-abortion legislation after the Supreme Court struck down Roe V. Wade. The young woman, who was pregnant by Fuentes, was taken from Ohio to Indiana to terminate her pregnancy through a legal abortion.

The doctor who treated the girl, Dr. Caitlin Bernard, spoke out against anti-abortion laws, such as Ohio’s, which prohibit abortion at the first heartbeat, citing the example of her unnamed patient as evidence against of the legislation.

Bernard was reprimanded in May for violating patient privacy laws when she spoke to a local newspaper reporter about the case, even though she did not disclose any protected information. The Indiana State Medical Licensing Board fined the doctor $3,000.Read More……..
