WASHINGTON — Two people were charged on Tuesday with threatening reproductive health service facilities clinics in Florida, the Justice Department announced.
Caleb Freestone, 27, and Amber Smith-Stewart, 23, were indicted by a federal grand jury for being"engaged in a conspiracy to prevent employees of reproductive health service facilities from providing those services."
Freestone and Smith-Stewart spray painted"YOUR TIME IS UP!!" on the outside of the property while dressed in ski masks, spray painted"niether [sic]" in another instance and allegedly wrote “We are everywhere,” on a reproductive health services facility in Winter Haven, Florida, the indictment alleges.
The indictment also alleges that Freestone and Smith-Stewart violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act by using threats to intimidate and interfere with the employees of a reproductive health services facility in Winter Haven because those employees were providing or seeking to provide reproductive health services.
Last week, the FBI said they were offering a $25,000 reward for any information regarding the arrest of people targeting healthcare reproductive facilities.
