Fox News anchor Jesse Watters expresses his concerns about the media possibly running a disinformation campaign about an allegedly raped and pregnant 10-year-old girl in “Jesse Watters Primetime.”
JESS WATERS:”Primetime” decided to investigate this alleged child rape, but we quickly found out that the authorities in Ohio have not even opened a criminal investigation into the rape. This makes no sense. Did no one report this child rape to law enforcement?
The Washington Post agreed with us and digs it too. “Under Ohio law, a physician pursuant to Ohio Revised Code 2151.421 shall report any known or suspected case of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse or neglect of a child to the local child protective agency or law enforcement agency. law’s.” But we found no evidence that this child abuse was reported to law enforcement or any child welfare system, and neither did the Washington Post. And “Primetime” called Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s office, and they couldn’t find any evidence of an investigation or indictment anywhere in their state.
STORY OF 10-YEAR-OLD OHIO RAPE VICTIM WHO NEEDS ABORTION STILL NOT VERIFIED BY AUDITORS
So, we’ve reached out to the state attorney general’s office and they haven’t found any evidence on the matter yet, and we’ll be talking to the AG about it shortly. We then called all the abortion clinics in Ohio to see if they filed police report for the rape of a 10-year-old girl. None of the Ohio abortion providers could provide helpful information. You’d think the story of a sex offender on the loose preying on a 10-year-old would cause enough concern in small-town Ohio, but no one seems to be doing anything about it.

Nobody even knows anything about it. The local media doesn’t even alert the public. There is a monster unleashed and as far as we can tell, no local newspaper or TV station picked up the story. The only source for this entire story is Dr. Caitlin Bernard, the Indiana abortion doctor. Bernard quickly ran to the cameras last week.
…
This is nothing new for Bernhardt. She was somewhat of a press darling. He never escaped from a story about abortion, her quotes on the subject have appeared in the New York Times, PBS, Politico over the past two years. But suddenly Dr. Bernhard doesn’t want to talk to the press. We reached out to her for comment and she said, “I don’t have any information to share on that.”
