I wonder how the War Room's right wing morons are going to justify this. You know they will. This is going to be a tough one though. But they are duty bound to defend this sexual predator.
He was 23 by the way. And she was intoxicated.
Alleged US Capitol rioter who heckled police for 'protecting pedophiles' served jail time for statutory rape of 14-year-old girl
A Trump supporter accused of storming the US Capitol and heckling police officers for "protecting pedophiles"
previously served jail time after being convicted in the statutory rape of a 14-year-old girl, according to court records reviewed by CNN and lawyers involved in the cases.
According to prosecutors' description of the footage, McHugh allegedly shouted,
"You guys like protecting pedophiles?" "you're protecting communists," "I'd be shaking in your little s--t boots too," and, "
there is a Second Amendment behind us, what are you going to do then?"
McHugh was convicted in 2010 on a state charge of unlawful sex with a minor, according to California court records reviewed by CNN and lawyers involved in McHugh's cases. McHugh was sentenced to 240 days in jail -- though he served less -- and got four years of probation.
There was DNA evidence that connected McHugh to the girl, former prosecutor Todd Kuhnen told CNN.
The victim was 14 years old and McHugh was 23 when the crime occurred, Kuhnen said.
The victim also alleged that she was intoxicated when the incident occurred.
Once he reached the scaffolding that was set up for the inauguration,
McHugh deployed an "unknown" chemical spray against police that he had kept holstered at his hip, prosecutors said.
McHugh has a long rap sheet of misdemeanor convictions, including multiple DUIs and trespassing offenses, according to Negin and a CNN review of California state court records. He is one of many rioters with criminal records, and he is one of a few rioters who were on probation or parole for other unrelated crimes when they went to the Capitol on January 6.
