Alleged US Capitol rioter who heckled police for 'protecting pedophiles' served jail time for statut

Source: CNN

(CNN)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.

Federal prosecutors say Sean McHugh of Auburn, California, fought with police as they fended off the massive mob of Trump supporters outside the Capitol on January 6. During the scuffle, McHugh was recorded by police body-worn cameras heckling the officers with a megaphone.

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?"

...snip...

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.

Had they, all this incriminating info would have given them higher status in the new government. That in itself is evidence that their intentions were complete overthrow. Otherwise, why be so upfront and exposed?

Remember how often he told ICE and other border officials to break the law if they needed to and he would cover their legal fees? I don’t remember, but I think he may have also promised to pardon them.

is something they've done or would do themselves, and that includes election fraud, shady financial dealings, and most definitely sexual abuse up and to and including the abuse of children.

I'm halfway to believing some of them might actually be lizard people.

The 'shocking expose' used to be one of the principal vehicles for wide circulation of pornography. After all, examples must be included, and this made lurid bits available to people without the nerve to go to the sleazy bookstore, or send off for the pamphlets advertised in the back pages of a pulp magazine.

The elaborately detailed fantasies of 'satanic pedophile cannibal elites' that are the core of this Q swill serve exactly the same function. They are how people can safely get and enjoy the pedophile thrills that fascinate them. Q even provides them warrant to openly obsess over their fantasies, and enjoy them round the clock.

Every person I have known who are worried about other peoples ‘illicit sex’ are either having it themselves, or more often wishing they were having illicit sex themselves.

McHugh has been charged with eight federal crimes tied to the Capitol insurrection, including trespassing
charges and the more serious counts of obstructing congressional proceedings and assaulting police officers
with a dangerous weapon.

Is that if they exhibit garbage behavior, it's not just an isolated incident. No, it's part of a repeated, long standing pattern of a shitty personality. And Trump attracts these kinds of people.

Matt Gaetz would call her a '14 year old woman'.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/30/us/politics/matt-gaetz-sex-trafficking-investigation.html

In a second interview later Tuesday, the congressman said he had no plans to resign his House seat and denied that he had romantic relationships with minors. “It is verifiably false that I have traveled with a 17-year-old woman,” he said.

That also can get you busted, if it was for purposes of illegal sex.

Of course, depending on the mechanism of payment and the cooperation of the 17 year old, that might be difficult to prove.

But the fact that he framed it this way pretty much guarantees he did pay for a 17 year old's travel.

The mass projection, constantly being used, has to be planned. It has been successful in the past but is now wearing thin. I wonder what they will use next. Intimidation or violence, etc: who knows. Stay tuned..

...the local news report about his arrest in Auburn CA, lists his age as 34.
This means that when he committed that statutory rape, he was 23.
A 23 year old having sex with a 14 year old.
This guy is filth, through & through.
