Colvin was initially charged with disturbing the peace, violating the segregation laws, and battering and assaulting a police officer.[18] "There was no assault," Price said.[18] She also said in a book (Claudette Colvin: Twice Towards Justice by Phillip Hoose) that one of the police officers sat in the back seat with her. This made her very scared that they would sexually assault her because this happened frequently. A group of black civil rights leaders including Martin Luther King, Jr., was organized to discuss Colvin’s arrest with the police commissioner She was bailed out by her minister, who told her that she had brought the revolution to Montgomery.[20]

Although she was not pregnant at the time, Claudette’s case was still dropped by the civil rights campaigners, but it became widely accepted that she was not accredited by the civil rights campaigners at the time due to that notion.
