Indiana Abortionist Criminally Charged After Failing to Report Statutory Rape on 13-Year-Old Girl
January 17, 2014
 Gary, IN - Abortionist Ulrich Georg Klopfer
has been criminally charged in Lake County, Indiana, with failing to
file a timely report, a Class B Misdemeanor that carries a penalty of up
to 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
The
charge is related to an incident of statutory rape on a 13-year-old
girl. Klopfer, who gave the girl an abortion at his Gary, Indiana,
abortion clinic in September, 2012, filed the report nearly four months
later than state statute requires, leaving the girl at risk of further
sexual abuse.
The
non-reporting of the young girl's abortion was discovered by Lake
County Right to Life after reviewing Terminated Pregnancy Reports
obtained through an open records act request. Abortionists in Indiana
are required the reports within 10 days of abortion procedures.
"We
hope this is the first criminal charge of many that Klopfer will
ultimately face," said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, which
reported earlier this week that Klopfer has been placed under investigation
by the Special Victim's Unit of St. Joseph County. "We commend of
Indiana Right to Life and its affiliates for their stellar work in
uncovering these abortion abuses and getting the information into the
hands of prosecutors and oversight agencies so Klopfer can be brought to
justice."
