Nick Fuentes facing battery charge after ‘your body, my choice’ confrontation at his Illinois home
Nick Fuentes, a far-right influencer and livestream, has been charged with violence after he allegedly used pepper spray on a woman who showed up at his front door in Illinois last month as his refrain. My decision was to make your body go viral.
When Marla Rose, 57, went to videotape Fuentes' home in Berwyn, Illinois, in November after seeing his contentious social media post, she said that he pepper-sprayed her, slammed her onto the concrete, and destroyed her phone outside of his home in the Chicago region. The woman had no obvious physical injuries, although her eyes were wet, according to a police report made on November 11.
Fuentes was freed the same day after being arrested late last month. On December 19, he is scheduled to appear in court.
