A Trump supporter accused of storming the Capitol and heckling 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 and lawyers involved in the cases.

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.

Capitol riot's toll on officers persists 03:08There 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. McHugh pleaded no contest to the underage sex charge.

Avlon: Blocked January 6 commission a gut punch to democracy 03:38McHugh's comments about police supposedly"protecting pedophiles" inside the Capitol might be a reference to QAnon -- a far-right movement that believes the baseless conspiracy that Democratic officials and liberal figures are Satan-worshipping pedophiles who control the world. Many Capitol rioters supported QAnon and thought Trump was destined to defeat the cabal.

What does this have to do with Trump? Absolutely nothing. He's not responsible for anybody's behavior but his own.

So who are the pedophiles QAnon is accusing...the repuglican insurrectionists!!

What about Fauci’s emails? No news why was you and the liberal media in on the sham ? You all should be held accountable Fauci lied people died !

CNN isnt trustworthy enough to believe

The Fruit Loop party. Qanon is their Bible. Guns are their idol. Hatred is their message.

Gotta admit their projecting is always on point 🤷🏻‍♀️

But of course.

Course he did.

So much projection with these people.

Insurrection? Is whe nthe military is involved. For that matter the left and media have been instigating one for yrs w their nonstop false attacks against Trump when he tried to do good for the country and their nonstop race card playing when minorities are better off then ever

Just like Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

It’s always the same story with these people.
