The victim was forced to travel to Indiana to secure an abortion because she was three days past Ohio’s six-week limit, which does not include exceptions for rape or incest. The detective said the girl had an abortion in Indianapolis on June 30. But authorities in Indiana have now launched an investigation into Dr. Caitlin Bernard, the doctor who performed the abortion, accusing her of failing to report the case to police, as required by state law for sex crimes involving minors. Todd Rokita, Indiana’s attorney general, told Fox News: “We’re gathering evidence as we speak and we’re going to fight this to the end, including looking at her license if she failed to report.” The detective said DNA from the abortion clinic is being tested to confirm paternity. Police say Mr. Fuentes confessed to raping the girl. He was arrested on Tuesday and has not spoken. It is understood that Mr. Fuentes is an undocumented immigrant who is in the US illegally.
