Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody on Thursday announced civil and criminal court victories over abortion activists attacking pregnancy centers.
Last March, Moody sued members of the violent anarchist groups Antifa and Jane’s Revenge for vandalizing three Florida crisis pregnancy center buildings and threatening their staff and clients in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court landmark ruling on abortion.
After the Supreme Court’s decision was leaked to overturn Roe v Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, pro-abortion activists and members of “criminal organizations sought to silence and intimidate crisis pregnancy centers’ workers and clients nationwide by vandalizing or even setting fire to their buildings,” Moody said at the time.
Two Antifa and Jane’s Revenge members, Caleb Hunter Freestone of Miami and Amber Marie Smith-Stewart of Ocoee, participated in at least three attacks against Florida crisis pregnancy centers, The Center Square first reported. Moody’s office also filed a civil action against additional defendants Annarella Rivera and Gabriella Victoria Oropesa, alleging all four defendants violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, or FACE Act.
On Thursday, Moody announced her victory securing a settlement, with several defendants pleading guilty to felonies in federal court. The settlement results in a civil judgment and a permanent injunction. Restitution will be ordered to compensate the victim clinics. One defendant will be ordered to pay a $10,000 civil penalty. The defendants who plead guilty face up to 10 years in prison.
After 19 attorneys general requested the U.S. Department of Justice investigate violence being committed against pro-life groups in June 2022, the FBI said it would investigate the attacks being committed against prolife and faith-based groups.
It remains unclear when the FBI’s findings will be published.
The source of the Supreme Court leak has reportedly never been found or made public.

Huzzah Huzza!
Good luck with that.
“In Florida, illegal actions have consequences, and I am proud of the work our attorneys did in this case to make sure these extremists were held accountable.”
Florida’s elected leaders are taking it to the terrorists.
Lead on!
If I ever feel threatened by antifa I will not hesitate to shoot them.
Legalize flogging as a punishment for those convicted of violent attacks committed against prolife and faith-based groups.
“The source of the Supreme Court leak has reportedly never been found or made public.”
Assign the leak to Traitor Roberts until he releases the name of the actual leaker.
Roberts is running a conspiracy.
When Wray is going to be working full time to find the source of the glass shard that nicked Trump’s ear, there won’t be time to pursue those who create mayhem.
Excuse me!!
I have a question.
Why does a group that claims they are ANTIFA(Anti-Fascist) have a stance on Abortion and Abortion alternatives and take violent actions against them?
That make no sense unless all unless they are really just actually brownshirts for the democrats and the big corporations and government unions that they support...
Just Saying.
“The source of the Supreme Court leak has reportedly never been found or made public.”
Assign the leak to Traitor Roberts until he releases the name of the actual leaker.”
They all know EXACTLY who the leaker is.
