Teens for Christ Trial Set for January 9th
The Daily Pilot, California
December 10, 1968, North America
Jury trial for five of the six Teens for Christ arrested last week on misdemeanor trespassing charges has been set for Jan. 9 in West Orange County Municipal Court.
The young militants Monday pleaded innocent to the charges of interfering with the peaceful conduct of school activities at Golden West College in Huntington Beach and refusing to leave the campus when asked to do so.
About 20 members of the Huntington Beach-based group’s leadership team sat in Judge Philip McGraw’s courtroom during the arraignment proceedings.
Outside, small bands of the self-styled “Christian revolutionaries” picketed in front of Westminster City Hall, which is adjacent to court facilities.
Released on their own recognizance were Jonathan Berg 19, son of the group’s “spiritual advisor” Dave Berg; Nancy Dewar, 18; Joseph Langford, 18; Douglas Toerper, 19, and James Burke, 27.
