Two women were arrested for allegedly vandalizing the office and home of a New York City Councilman on Monday.
Erica Sanchez, 44, and Anna Morgan, 27, were allegedly part of a group that was protesting Drag Story Hour, which features drag artists reading stories to children at the New York Public Library. The protesters allegedly vandalized Bottcher’s office and apartment building, targeting a supporter of the drag story hours and a member of the LGBTQ community, on Dec. 19.
The alleged bigots’ actions brought condemnation not just from Bottcher but also lawmakers from across the state and country. Similar acts of intolerance against LGBTQ+ Americans and the drag story hour have occurred over the past year, spurred largely byThe protesters, who Bottcher said on Twitter calls themselves “gays against groomers,” made it into his office at West 30th Street in Chelsea at around 3 p.m., scrawling “Bitcher” along the walls — a slur against the council member’s last name.
Authorities said the protesters eventually made their way outside of Bottcher’s apartment building, where on the sidewalk they wrote “Erik Boccher [sic] is a pedo child groomer,” “Child Predator,” “We Want Erik,” and “OK Groomer.” Sanchez and Morgan allegedly made their way into Bottcher’s building, where they were arrested and charged with criminal trespassing.
On Dec. 20, Bottcher tweeted out a video of the protesters fighting with one of the legislator’s neighbors.
