Pro-life demonstrator avoids jail after judge denies Biden admin. request for 1 year behind bars

Paul Vaughn, a pro-life father of 11, avoided jail time after U.S. District Judge Aleta Trauger decided to impose no prison time or fine after he was charged by the Biden administration's Justice Department and found guilty.

The Biden Justice Department brought charges against Vaughn and 10 other demonstrators who were present at the Carafem Health Center Clinic in Mt. Juliet for a sit-in protest in March 2021.

Vaughn was ultimately convicted for violating the FACE Act and participating in a conspiracy against individual rights.

The Justice Department recommended one year of prison time, but the judge sentenced Vaughn to three years of supervised release on Tuesday.
