About this listen

In this episode, we examine the disturbing case of Gerson Fuentes, an undocumented immigrant in Columbus, Ohio, who was arrested and convicted for the rape of a 10-year-old girl in 2022. The assault led to a pregnancy, forcing the young victim to travel to Indiana for an abortion due to Ohio’s restrictive post-Roe abortion laws. We break down the details of the case, the political firestorm it ignited, and what it revealed about the intersection of immigration, reproductive rights, and justice for victims.
