Ohio AG claims ‘not a whisper’ about reported 10-year-old rape victim who got abortion

Ohio’s attorney general said Monday that his office had heard “not a whisper” about the reported case of a 10-year-old girl who was raped and had to travel out of state to receive an abortion due to Ohio’s so-called “trigger” law — a viral story that was cited by President Biden last week.

“We have a de-centralized law enforcement system in Ohio, but we have regular contact with prosecutors and local police and sheriffs.” Dave Yost told Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime”. “Not a whisper anywhere.”

Yost then noted that his office runs the Buckeye State’s crime lab, and added: “Any case like this, you’re going to have a rape kit, you’re going to have biological evidence, and you would be looking for DNA analysis, which we do most of the DNA analysis in Ohio. There is no case request for analysis that looks anything like this.”

“I know our prosecutors and cops in this state,” Yost went on. “There’s not one of them that wouldn’t be turning over every rock in their jurisdiction if they had the slightest hint that this occurred there.”

On July 1, the Indianapolis Star reported that a local OB-GYN, Dr. Caitlin Bernard, had been contacted four days earlier by an Ohio “child abuse doctor” who told Bernard that they had just seen a 10-year-old patient who was six weeks and three days pregnant.

Under Ohio law, physicians are required to report any case of known or suspected child abuse or neglect, including “suffering any physical or mental wound [or] injury.”

If, as Yost claims, law enforcement has no knowledge of a rape case involving a 10-year-old girl, that suggests that either the Ohio doctor violated state law by not reporting the crime or Bernard fabricated the incident to a credulous reporter.

“We don’t know who the originating doctor in Ohio was, if they even exist,” Yost told Fox News host Jesse Watters Monday night. “But the bottom line is, it is a crime — if you’re a mandated reporter — to fail to report.”

The News media has been "Smolletted" again.

The media is absolutely corrupt!  All the damn time!

Next up we'll be hearing the meme, "fake, but accurate"...

The Pro-Abortion activist who is pushing this needs to be challenged with the dilemma into which she threw herself:

* Admit she crafted a hoax, or

* Face the consequences for abetting the felony of not reporting a statutory rape and possible parental sexual abuse.

Abortion Doctor at Heart of #Shes10 Viral Horror Story Was Accused of Failing to Report Underaged Abortions

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/megan-fox/2022/07/11/abortion-doctor-at-heart-of-shes10-viral-horror-story-was-accused-of-failing-to-report-underaged-abortions-against-state-law-in-2018-n1611899

Dr. Caitlin Bernard loves the spotlight. The Indiana abortionist gets interviewed on television and in print whenever abortion laws seek to limit her big abortion business. Recently, Bernard’s claims about a 10-year-old rape victim who she says came across state lines from Ohio to Indiana for an abortion, went viral, and the attention Bernard is now getting might not be the kind she likes.

After PJ Media fact-checked this tale and could find no corroborating evidence, the Washington Post finally caught up and found the exact same thing. Now Bernard is under fire for either making up this story or not reporting a child rape to authorities, which she is required to do as a mandated reporter. Failure to do so could result in Bernard losing her medical license.

But some digging into Bernard uncovered that she has been in exactly this same kind of trouble before. Indiana Right to Life audited termination of pregnancy reports that are public records in 2018 and found that nine abortion doctors allegedly failed to report underaged abortions to the health department as required by law. Bernard was one of them.

1. Why are supposedly pro-woman abortuaries refusing to report statutory rape, allowing the rapists to remain free and do it again?

2. Why in Hades did a Pro-Life organization do this audit and not the State of Indiana? To protect rapists and Gosnells?
