Lauren Noble, founder of the Buckley Institute, recounts her wrongful arrest stemming from a false accusation of racism. Despite her resources and advocacy for free speech, she faced criminal charges that threatened her future. Over nearly a year, the case dragged on until it was finally dismissed due to insufficient evidence. Noble’s experience underscores the broader implications for free speech advocates, demonstrating that anyone can be subjected to similar injustices, especially when public perception and media narratives intertwine with personal accusations.
I never thought I'd end up in handcuffs and a jail cell for something I didn't say.
If this can happen to me - a First Amendment advocate with resources, legal counsel and a public reputation to defend - it can happen to anyone.
