Six pro­test­ers face crim­i­nal charges in con­nec­tion to protests in Auro­ra, includ­ing some of the lead­ers of the demon­stra­tions, pros­e­cu­tors announced Thursday.

All of the pro­test­ers — Lil­lian House, Joel Northam, Ter­rance Roberts, Whit­ney Lucero, Trey Quinn and John Ruch — face felonies. Some face charges for alleged­ly incit­ing a riot and theft, accord­ing to news releas­es from the 17th and 18th Judi­cial Dis­trict Attorney’s Offices.

The charges are con­nect­ed to demon­stra­tions held in Auro­ra on June 27, July 3, July 12 and July 25.

House and Roberts have been the face of protests in Den­ver and Auro­ra over the sum­mer. House was an orga­niz­er for the Par­ty of Social­ism and Lib­er­a­tion, which has led mas­sive demon­stra­tions. Roberts is a well-known activist and com­mu­ni­ty orga­niz­er in Den­ver and Aurora.

“We sup­port the First Amend­ment right of peo­ple to protest peace­ful­ly in our com­mu­ni­ty but there is a dif­fer­ence between a peace­ful protests and a riot,” 17th Dis­trict Attor­ney Dave Young said in a news release. “When indi­vid­u­als cross the line and break the law, they will be prosecuted.”

This is a break­ing news sto­ry and will be updated.
