Federal prosecutors have charged an attorney who represented families in a lawsuit against Alabama’s gender-affirming care ban with a felony charge of making a false statement. Lambda Legal issued a statement on Tuesday supporting Charles against the allegations, calling the indictment an example of government overreach. The attorneys filed and then refiled a lawsuit challenging the law in court. Circuit Judge Barbara Lagoa, citing Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which struck down federal abortion protections, ruled there was no constitutional right to gender-affirming care. The judge also referred the incident to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama and other licensing organizations.
