A Columbus man has been charged with impregnating a 10-year-old girl, who recently had to travel to Indiana after the overturning of Roe v. Wade prohibited abortion within the state of Ohio.

Gerson Fuentes, 27, was arrested on Tuesday after admitting to police that he raped the child on at least two occasions.

According to IndyStar, Fuentes is currently being held on a $2 million bond.

Columbus police were informed of the 10-year-old’s pregnancy by a referral from Franklin County Children’s Services which was made by her mother on June 22.

On June 30, Indianapolis-based Dr. Caitlin Bernard performed a medical abortion on the 10-year-old.

According to The Columbus Dispatch, Det. Jeffrey Huhn testified Wednesday morning at Fuentes’ arraignment.
