Olivia Winslow and Camryn Amy, both 21 and from Wilmington, DE, face numerous charges after a video allegedly shows them confronting and terrorizing supporters of President Donald Trump.
One supporter was a 7-year-old boy.
The grand jury indicted the two women on charges of:
The video shows people protesting Joe Biden’s nomination for president when the women allegedly ripped up signs and snatched a MAGA hat from a 7-year-old boy.
The video also shows one of the women allegedly punching a man who tried to get the hat back.
Three charges “are felonies and collectively are punishable by 15 years in prison.”
The other charges could also lead to time in prison. The hate crimes carry the most weight:
Delaware law states that a person is guilty of such when they commit a “crime for the purpose of interfering with the victim’s free exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege or immunity protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, or commits said crime because the victim has exercised or enjoyed said rights.”
The two women are out on bail. Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings said:
“Violence in any form is unacceptable, but harming another person — let alone a child — because of the expression of their views betrays the principles on which our country was founded.”
