A pro-life activist accused of shoving a 72-year-old volunteer escort to the ground has been awarded a seven-figure settlement in a wrongful arrest lawsuit.
Mark Houck, a Pennsylvania man known for sidewalk counselling, was alleged to have assaulted the volunteer on two occasions near the Planned Parenthood Elizabeth Blackwell Health Center in Philadelphia, federal prosecutors say. Both incidents were alleged to have taken place on October 13, 2021.
