Three pro-lifers who protested at, and blocked access to a Washington, D.C.<\/a> reproductive health care services clinic in October 2020 were found guilty of federal charges by a jury on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Department of Justice<\/a> said in a press release that 41-year-old Jonathan Darnel of Arlington, Virginia; 73-year-old Jean Marshall of Kingston, Massachusetts; and 74-year-old Joan Bell of Montague, New Jersey were each convicted of federal civil rights conspiracy and freedom of access to clinic entrances (FACE) act offenses.<\/p>\n

The DOJ said Marshall and Bell traveled to D.C. to meet with Darnel and to participate in a clinic blockade that was coordinated and streamed live by another co-conspirator on Facebook.<\/p>\n

PRO-LIFE PROTESTORS COULD FACE UP TO 10 YEARS IN PRISON: \u2018POLITICAL WITCH HUNT\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

During the blockade on Oct. 22, 2020, the defendants are accused of creating a blockade at the clinic, which prevented the clinic from providing reproductive health services.<\/p>\n

Marshall and Bell were part of a group that forcefully entered the clinic and blockaded two doors using furniture, chains, ropes and their bodies, according to the prosecution.<\/p>\n

Darnell, who remained outside the clinic, streamed the activities to social media.<\/p>\n

PRO LIFE ACTIVISTS FOUND GUILTY ON CONSPIRACY CHARGES FOR 2020 \u2018RESCUE ACTION\u2019 AT DC CLINIC<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In doing so, all three defendants violated the FACE Act after using physical obstruction to injure, intimidate and interfere with the employees at the clinic, as well as a patient who was obtaining reproductive health services.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Court<\/a> Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, who presided over the trial of Marshall, Bell and Darnel, ordered all three defendants immediately detained as required by statute.<\/p>\n

Sentencing for the trio will be scheduled at a later date, and each faces up to 11 years in prison, three years of probation and a fine of up to $350,000.<\/p>\n

PRO-LIFERS SHOULD BACK A FEDERAL 15-WEEK ABORTION BAN<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In August, five co-conspirators \u2013 Lauren Handy, 28, of Alexandria, Virginia.; John Hinshaw, 67, of Levittown, New York; Heather Idoni, 61, of Linden, Michigan; William Goodman, 52, of the Bronx, New York; and Herb Geraghty, 25, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania \u2013 were convicted on the same charges, and another co-defendant, Jay Smith, pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to 10 months in prison plus three years of probation.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors argued in all the cases that the pro-life activists violated the 1994 FACE Act, a federal law implemented under former President Clinton that prohibits physical force, threats of force or intentionally damaging property to prevent someone from obtaining or providing abortion services.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prior to the trial, Darnell, said he would plead not guilty<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I am definitely not guilty of the charges leveled against me, which is rather ironic that I should find myself in this position,” Darnel, a professed Christian, told Fox News Digital in an interview. “Nevertheless, if a jury finds me guilty of FACE even erroneously, it would be an honor because the kids are worthy of protection.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
