\"\"Federal officials announced Wednesday a two-count indictment charging Lauren Handy, 28, of Alexandria, Virginia; Jonathan Darnel, 40, of Arlington, Virginia, Jay Smith, 32, of Freeport, New York; Paulette Harlow, 73, of Kingston, Massachusetts; Jean Marshall, 72, of Kingston, Massachusetts; John Hinshaw, 67, of Levittown, New York; Heather Idoni, 61, of Linden, Michigan; William Goodman, 52, of the Bronx, New York; and Joan Bell, 74, of Montague, New Jersey, with federal civil rights offenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The defendants allegedly reproductive healthcare clinic invasion in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 22, 2020. The defendants were charged with conspiracy against rights and a FACE Act offense.<\/span><\/p>\n

If convicted of the offenses, the defendants each face up to a maximum of 11 years in prison, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

The indictment returned by a federal grand jury alleges that the nine defendants engaged in a conspiracy to create a blockade at the reproductive health care clinic to prevent the clinic from providing, and patients from receiving, reproductive health services.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the indictment, as part of the conspiracy, Smith, Harlow, Marshall, Hinshaw, Idoni, Goodman, and Bell traveled to Washington, D.C., from various northeast and midwestern states, to participate in a clinic blockade.<\/span><\/p>\n

The plan was directed by Handy and was broadcast on Facebook by Darnel. <\/span><\/p>\n

The indictment states that Handy, Smith, Harlow, Marshall, Hinshaw, Idoni, Goodman, and Bell forcefully entered the clinic and set about blockading two clinic doors using their bodies, furniture, chains, and ropes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Once the blockade was established, Darnel live-streamed footage of his co-defendants\u2019 activities. <\/span><\/p>\n

The indictment also alleges that the nine defendants violated the FACE Act by using physical obstruction to injure, intimidate and interfere with the clinic\u2019s employees and a patient because they were providing or obtaining reproductive health services.<\/span><\/p>\n
