After being sentenced to five years in prison last September, a 22-year-old woman who set fire to a Wyoming abortion clinic in 2022 will also have to put her hand in her pocket and pay a fine of nearly 300,000 US$ ($396,000 CAD).
Lorna Green would therefore have to pay US$240,000 to the clinic’s insurer, US$33,500 to the building owner and US$24,500 to the founder and president of the Wellspring Heath Access clinic, reported the “New York Daily News ” Wednesday.
The young woman entered the clinic building in May 2022 and set the fire following pouring gasoline on the floor. The clinic was scheduled to open its doors a few weeks later.
She was arrested last March before pleading guilty to a federal arson charge in June. A few months later, Ms. Green was sentenced to five years in prison and three years of supervised release.
Wellspring Health Access was Wyoming’s second abortion clinic when it opened in April 2023. It is now the only clinic that exists in the entire state following the other closed earlier this month, due to the increased costs.
Wyoming is among the states that passed a law banning abortion last March. This decree, however, was challenged in court and remains pending.
