Police in Clarksdale, Miss., have arrested a suspect in the alleged rape of Ashley
after she was unable to travel out of state for an abortion.
Regina told TIME that police said the suspect had been identified using DNA evidence. She also said the suspect was the same person she had flagged to the detective in charge of the case in February, after a family member located him on social media and Ashley identified him as the alleged rapist."We have found the boy," Regina texted the detective on Feb.
Ashley discovered she was pregnant in January, according to Ashley's doctor and Regina. It was then that Ashley told her mother that she had been raped by a stranger outside her home in Oct. 2022, shortly before her 13th birthday. After filing the police report in January, Regina says she was told police needed DNA evidence to advance the investigation, and could not obtain that evidence until Ashley's baby was born. Ashley's son Peanut—TIME is using a nickname to preserve the family's privacy—was born on July 30. Clarksdale police did not pick up a DNA sample from the hospital until three days after Peanut was born, and only after repeated requests from TIME.
