Prosecutors announced plea agreements late last week with two activists affiliated with the underground Animal Liberation Front in connection with protests aimed at researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times reported. One defendant, Kevin Richard Olliff, pleaded no contest to felony stalking and conspiracy charges and faces up to three years in prison. The other, Linda Faith Greene, pleaded guilty to similar charges and faces five years of strict probation. Both were charged with harassing UCLA scientists who use animals in their research, and the two were among five activists who were barred by a judge’s order in 2008 from having contact with UCLA researchers.
