"With Biden having put the White House imprimatur on the story, it became more important than ever to assert that it was true. This was a problem.
Even the Washington Post's Glenn Kessler conceded on July 9 that, despite contacting every child services agency in Ohio's largest cities, he'd come up with nothing. Ohio's attorney general also said he hadn't heard anything about a ten-year-old rape victim but said that the Ohio law explicitly allows exceptions for medical emergencies, even extending beyond the life of the mother, meaning that the child had no reason to leave Ohio. The Daily Beast promptly attacked Jesse Watters for wondering what the truth was.
Yikes! The narrative was working against the pro-abortion crowd.
And then, miraculously, the news came through: 27-year-old Gerson Fuentes had been arrested for the child's rape.
But here's what's funny about that report: Fuentes was arrested on July 12. The child was impregnated on May 10, 2022, a date we know precisely because she was six weeks and three days pregnant when Dobbs came down. Her mother allegedly reported the rape on June 22 and, by June 24, her status (six weeks and three days pregnant) was known, justifying a rush across the border to Indiana.
With these hard facts — and the child apparently identifying Fuentes by June 22 — why was he arrested only after the story became embarrassing?
Perhaps the fact that Fuentes is an illegal alien has something to do with the shroud of mystery."
