Gerson Fuentes, Who Raped A 9-Year-Old Ohio Girl That Later Got An Abortion Out Of State In Indiana, Sentenced To Life In Prison
The sicko who rap*d a 9-year-old Ohio girl who crossed state lines to seek an abortion was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after the victim’s family “begged” for the lower punishment.
Gerson Fuentes, 28, received a plea deal that allows him to seek parole after serving 25 to 30 years since he confessed to raping and impregnating the then-9-year-old in a case that reignited the national debate over abortion rights.
Common Pleas Court Judge Julie Lynch said the victim’s family pleaded with her to accept the plea agreement, which she called a “very hard pill for this court to swallow.”

The maximum punishment would have been a life sentence without parole. Either way, Fuentes, who is an undocumented immigrant, will have to register as a sex offender.
If he eventually is paroled, he would likely be deported back to his home country of Guatemala given the fact that he is in the US illegally, according to authorities.
“Anyone who’s ever been in this courtroom for the last 20 years knows how this court feels about these babies, young people, being violated,” Lynch said.
“However, today, by the request of the family, this court will be sentencing without comment.”
