Nathan Hankins, 27, faces another statutory rape charge in another county that involves a girl younger than 13 years old.
When the alleged victim had an abortion in Colorado, she told medical professionals she was 15 when she became pregnant by her then 25-year-old boyfriend, Hankins. The clinic notified police and South Dakota investigators were given a sample of the placenta.
And with Hankins facing another charge of statutory rape in a different county, there was no immediate concern of him walking away free, authorities said. “From the point of view of my client, this is a good thing," Pietz told NBC News. “But for the bigger picture, it could have been good to have this appealed."
