Here's everything to know about the character of June from Beyond the Gates

June is a fictional character in the daytime soap opera Beyond the Gates. The character was introduced as a troubled character with a challenging past. In her first appearance on the soap opera, she was brought to the police station, where she was charged with second-degree assault for striking a social worker. At the station, she accused the police of brutality, which led to chaos at the station, which was later controlled by Officer Jacob.

Jacob discussed this case with Naomi, who was hesitant to take over the case and represent her. However, when Jacob told her the severity of her case, she decided to take the case. Later, when June found out she was getting Naomi as a lawyer, she immediately declined the offer as she couldn't afford it. But Jacob conveyed that they would not be charging her a dime.

Displaced June lived under the overpass in the Tent City. Due to her living conditions, she caught pneumonia and is hospitalized. Further, Naomi tries to find her a shelter; however, she gets her settled at a motel in the meantime.
