Quick Glance: This is what raping a 10-year-old looks like.
  • The tragedy of a raped and pregnant 10-year-old revolts the mind.

  • Gershon Fuentes, 27, was accused with raping a 10-year-old girl who had to fly to Indiana for an abortion on July 13 in Ohio.

  • Even if the girl in Ohio remains anonymous — and the national media attention, the arrest of her alleged rapist, and his naming in the press make that seem unlikely — she will someday know that her 10-year-old self was treated as a political chess piece, not as a person the entire nation cared about.

  • Nobody is nicer than a 10-year-old.
