In the wake of the Supreme Court returning abortion law decisions back to the states with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, President Joe Biden addressed the nation and told a harrowing story about a little girl who was raped and then forced to cross state lines to receive an abortion.
The person who allegedly raped her, 27-year-old illegal alien Gerson Fuentes, is once again being defended by none other than the little girl’s own mother.Â
The mother, thought to be Fuentes’ girlfriend and possibly carrying his child, has made several jaw-dropping statements to the press with regard to the case, taking Fuentes’ side each time.
Mainstream media outlets and the White House have repeated the story of the 10-year-old rape victim to use it for political gain, mainly to keep their base energized on the issue, but many say they need to drop it now, as the little girl could be in danger.
Defending the rapist?
“Everything that they’re saying against him is a lie,” the little girl’s mother said, before later issuing a similar statement to Telemundo.

Some suspected that she offered cover for the supposed boyfriend attacker as she, too, might be illegally in the U.S., though her immigration status hasn’t yet been made clear.

“He’s her partner. And he is the father of the child [the mother] is carrying in her womb right now.”

No ICE contact
The alleged child rapist has reportedly been working inside the United States for roughly seven years.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official reported that the agency had not had any prior contact with Fuentes.
The alleged attacker is being held in a local county jail with a $2 million bail amount.
He will reportedly be tagged with a detainer by ICE agents so that if he does manage to get out on bail, if he’s ever involved in local police matters again, ICE will be alerted and will take custody for deportation.
