The story about an anonymous child rape victim from Ohio who crossed state lines to get an abortion became a political lightning rod. Now, a man has been arraigned for the rape.

. While multiple doctors were quoted in the article, the introductory anecdote was attributed to a single source: Dr. Caitlin Bernard. Bernard, a prominent obstetrician-gynecologist who is an assistant professor at Indiana University's medical school, told the paper's reporters of a phone call from a child-abuse physician in Ohio. That article did not set out any further details about the Ohio patient nor explain how it had verified the doctor's story.

The Ohio doctor's patient, a 10-year-old, was"six weeks and three days pregnant," by Bernard's account.
