Gerson Fuentes, 28, pleaded guilty to the rape of a child who had to travel from Ohio to Indiana to terminate a pregnancy.

Gerson Fuentes, 28, was charged with two felony counts of rape in an indictment filed in Franklin County, Ohio, last year in a case that made national headlines after Roe v. Wade was overturned. Fuentes, a Guatemalan national, confessed to raping the child in an interview with police, according to documents filed in Franklin County Municipal Court. Fuentes was sentenced to life in prison with a possibility of parole after 25 years and will have to register as a Tier 3 sex offender.
