   Pro-life activist sucker-punched during

   A conservative influencer who was slugged in the face by an unhinged   
   pro-abortion crusader has accused progressive Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg   
   of botching the case against her attacker, who won’t face charges after   
   leaving her battered and bloodied.   
      
   Savannah Craven Antao, a 23-year-old pro-life activist, was   
   sucker-punched by a woman while she was conducting man-on-the-street   
   interviews in Harlem in April.   
      
   Her attacker, Brianna J. Rivers, was arrested and charged with felony   
   assault, but Bragg’s officer later downgraded the charge to a   
   misdemeanor — and then flubbed the “onerous” discovery requirements,   
   leading the case to be tossed.   
      
   In a new civil case filed Tuesday by Craven Antao against Rivers, the   
   conservative influencer claims the DA used a loophole to assign the case   
   to a student “non-lawyer.”   
      
   The suit — which isn’t against Bragg or his office — alleges that the   
   speedy trial dismissal in July was “because the inexperienced nonlawyer   
   assigned to the case under a ‘student practice’ rule allowed the   
   discovery deadline to lapse.”   
      
   Bragg had apologized for botching the case in September, blaming a   
   transfer to a new prosecutor.   
      
   The suit also accuses prosecutors of refusing to refile charges as a   
   felony and declining to pursue hate crime charges — despite evidence   
   that Rivers’ attack “was committed in the context of her mockery of   
   [Antao’s] Christian beliefs.”

   “I have to look over my shoulder and worry about if somebody who   
   supports her actions — there are a lot of people out there that do —   
   that they’re going to try to do something else,” Craven Antao told Fox   
   News Digital this week.   
      
   “Because what the DA Alvin Bragg himself has shown to people, with   
   letting this case be dropped, is that they can go assault somebody and   
   hurt them if they disagree with them and nothing is going to happen.”   
      
   Craven Antao’s pro-bono lawyers from the conservative Thomas More   
   Society claim that Rivers “knowingly, willfully and maliciously   
   continued to mock [Antao] and her views online in order to further   
   inflict emotional distress,” including posting t-shirts boasting of the   
   attack.   
      
   “Rivers posted photo [sic] of a t-shirt with the logo ‘BAM!’ and a fist   
   hitting a face, which she and her cousin apparently produced and   
   marketed in order to raise money for her legal fees,” the filing alleges.   
      
   The suit also lists a long list of posts “liked” by Rivers in support of   
   her tortious and criminal conduct, including one user who said, “You   
   ain’t hit that girl hard enough.”   
      
   Rivers told The Post in September that Craven Antao is “just fishing for   
   more clicks and empathy and targeting me for harassment.”   
      
   “I was apologetic to her,” Rivers said. “I felt sorry about the   
   situation. She wants to continue to just kind of drag it out.”   
      
   Craven Antao said the vicious assault left her with stitches — and over   
   $3,000 in medical bills.   
      
   “First, I’d really appreciate my over $3,000 in medical bills to be paid   
   off, because I should not be responsible for those,” Craven Antao told   
   Fox News Digital.   
      
   “Second, it’s to send a message — hopefully to show her that she can’t   
   do this again,” she continued.   
      
   The Manhattan DA’s office did not respond to a request for comment.
