Capitol Rioter Sentenced to Three Years for Storming Pelosi's Office on Jan. 6

Riley June Williams, a Pennsylvania woman who led a group of rioters towards Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office on Jan. 6, 2021, and directed others inside the Capitol to steal a laptop computer, has been sentenced to three years in prison. Williams was convicted of several charges, including felony civil disorder and impeding officers trying to defend the Capitol Rotunda. Prosecutors said that Williams acted as an "accelerant" in the Capitol attack, leading those around her past police lines and into the speaker's office. The jury deadlocked on whether she had played a role in the theft of the computer and whether her actions amounted to obstruction of Congress's certification of the 2020 electoral vote.
