Five pro-life activists were found guilty in a federal court in Washington, D.C., Tuesday of felony civil rights conspiracy charges and violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act following an October 2020 “invasion” of a D.C. abortion clinic.
Defendants Lauren Handy, 28, of Alexandria; John Hinshaw, 67, of Levittown, New York; Heather Idoni, 61, of Linden, Michigan; William Goodman, 52, of New York City; and Herb Geraghty, 25, of Pittsburgh were each jailed immediately because of the FACE Act convictions, a Justice Department statement said.
A tenth defendant, Jay Smith, 32, of Freeport, New York, pleaded guilty in March to a felony FACE Act violation related to the same incident, the Justice Department said. Details of his sentence were not immediately available. Attorney Martin Cannon, a senior counsel at the Thomas More Society and Ms. Handy’s attorney said in a statement that the legal team is “preparing an appeal.”
The five activists convicted Tuesday face as much as 11 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and fines of up to $350,000 apiece. U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, appointed to the federal bench in 1997 by then-President Bill Clinton, will schedule sentencing later.
