WASHINGTON — A Pennsylvania woman linked to a far-right extremist movement was sentenced on Thursday to three years in prison for storming the U.S. Capitol, where she invaded then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office with other rioters.
Jurors also deadlocked on a charge of obstructing an official proceeding, the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress for certifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory. Then-Vice President Mike Pence and members of Congress evacuated the House and Senate chambers when rioters attacked the Capitol.
Defense lawyers requested a term of imprisonment of one year and one day for Williams, who was 22 in January 2021. Williams was an ardent supporter of the white nationalist “Groyper” movement led by internet personality Nick Fuentes, according to prosecutors. They said Williams was “obsessed” with Fuentes and fixated on baseless claims — amplified by Fuentes — that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump.
Other Fuentes followers have been charged with Jan. 6-related crimes, including former UCLA student Christian Secor, who waved a flag associated with Fuentes’ movement when he entered the Capitol. Secor was sentenced last year to three years and six months in prison. “As the other rioter later manipulated the laptop and its cords, Williams filmed the theft that she had just commanded and encouraged, and further instructed the rioter, ‘Dude, put on gloves!'” prosecutors wrote.
But was it over $950? In Pelosi's California he would get a ticket.

Judge sentences Jan. 6 defendant who breached Pelosi’s office to 36 months in prisonA Jan. 6 defendant who surged with the mob into Pelosi’s office and helped strategize ways for the mob to overcome police resistance was sentenced to 3 years in prison. A jury convicted Riley Williams of civil disorder and resisting police. Very, very cool! She REALLY needs to be out of circulation! You trespass into Nancy's office, you get 3 years. You burn down federal courts (and are a Democrat voter), you get 0 days. You loot high end stores (and are a Democrat voter, you get 0 days You push people onto the subway tracks (and are a Democrat voter), you get 0 days. A bit much for protesting and trespassing...the summer of love was much worse than that and went longer than a half day...months?

Cumberland County woman gets 3 years in prison for role in U.S. Capitol riotsRiley Williams of Mechanicsburg had been accused of helping to steal Nancy Pelosi's laptop during the January 2021 chaos. In retrospect, staying home to watch Netflix that day was the better option….MAGACult This is why young people should be encouraged to become porn producers. Ms. Williams could be living a rich, fulfilling, financially rewarding life producing hot nerd porn, but instead she became involved in far-right politics. And this is the result. A misguided young woman who fell under the spell of a despicable grifter. I wonder, does she consider herself a victim or does she understand she made incredibly stupid decisions on 1/6? I suspect it's the former.
