A Bowling Green State University student faces federal misdemeanor charges in connection with the April 15 spray painting of the Bowling Green Pregnancy Center, also known as Her Choice.
United States Attorney Rebecca C. Lutzko, Wood County Prosecuting Attorney Paul Dobson, and Bowling Green Police Chief Tony Hetrick announced the charge under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act against Whitney M. Durant, a.k.a. Soren Monroe, age 20.
The FACE Act prohibits a person from intentionally damaging or destroying the property of a facility because that facility provides reproductive health services.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Angelita Cruz Bridges and Wood County Prosecutor Paul Dobson, who is also a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney.
Durant faces a maximum of one year in prison if convicted.
