Gerson Fuentes faces two counts of raping the girl, who turned 10 before traveling to Indiana to have an abortion.
CNN has reported that the girl was 10 years old when she sought an abortion. An indictment says she was 9 years old when the alleged rapes took place.
Though the trial was originally scheduled to begin Thursday, Fuentes' attorney Bryan Bowen told CNN before court that the team didn't expect "anything of significance" to happen that day.The trial is now scheduled to begin January 9, 2023, according to the court document. The young girl's case drew global attention in the aftermath of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and abolish federal abortion rights. Within a week of the consequential ruling, the girl sought an abortion but had to travel to Indiana because Ohio had banned almost all abortions after 6 weeks of gestation following the Supreme Court decision. The girl was six weeks and three days into the pregnancy, the doctor who referred her for an abortion told CNN previously.
