“We all know how hard it would be for me because the court considers this the worst offense. But my family has asked me to pass the verdict without comment.” The family has agreed to this, and in order to adopt this joint recommendation, it is a difficult pill to swallow for the court, and if the family had not pleaded with me to accept this joint recommendation, This would never have happened.”

The plea deal would prevent Fuentes from facing trial and being registered as a third-degree sex offender for the rest of his life, the paper reported.
Reports of the rape surfaced after Dr. Caitlin Barnard shared the story of her child’s abortion with the press in early July 2022, prompting her to be reprimanded for violating her victims’ privacy rights. In a report she filed with the Indiana Department of Health, she falsely reported that a 17-year-old boy had raped a child. according to to Fox News.
Many were initially skeptical of the story, given Bernard’s background in the abortion advocacy and the single source nature of the information. This story was later corroborated by the arrest of Fuentes on July 1, 2022.
