BERKELEY – An Antifa leader and middle school teacher was ordered to pay legal fees to a former UC Berkeley College Republican leader after a court ruling this week.

Alameda County Court Commissioner Thomas Rasch ordered Yvette Felarca to pay Troy Worden, the former leader of the college Republicans group, $11,100 in legal fees.

Felarca, an organizer with the group BAMN (By Any Means Necessary), filed a temporary restraining order against Worden, which was initially granted by a judge in September and later amended. Felarca’s group led protests against celebrity conservative speakers such as right-wing celebrities Milo Yiannopoulos and Ann Coulter, who were invited on campus by Worden’s group to last year.

Both sides had proclaimed vindication in October after an Alameda County Superior Court judge dismissed the restraining order against Worden initiated by Felarca, who is also a teacher at Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School.

In November, Worden announced he filed a lawsuit against Felarca for $100,000 in damages. This week’s ruling is the conclusion of that lawsuit, according to the law group that represents Worden.

When Felarca filed her restraining order, she claimed that Worden had followed her around campus in February 2017, and allegedly told her he was a fan.

Berkeley antifa organizer loses restraining order against Republican UC student “He asked me if he could take a selfie with me, which I agreed to. Right after taking the picture, as I stepped away from him, he suddenly reached out his hand to try (to) touch my face. He had a hard, chilling, menacing expression,” Felarca said in the filing.

Felarca, gained notoriety after she was filmed hitting a man during a June 26, 2016 melee in Sacramento, where she was part of a counter-demonstration against a rally by the Traditionalist Worker Party, a white supremacist group. She was charged by the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office with inciting and participating in a riot and assault likely to cause great bodily injury.

Worden has since been ousted as the leader of the campus’ college Republicans group. The school spent about $800,000 on a massive security detail during the planned “Free Speech Week” in September, which ended up getting cancelled.
