Benådad Jan. 6-upploppsman Andrew Paul Johnson dömd till livstidsfängelse för sexbrott mot barn i Florida

Andrew Paul Johnson, den 45-årige deltagaren i Jan. 6-upploppet vid USA:s kapitolsbyggnad 2021 som tidigare täckts i denna serie för sin fällande dom i februari på sexbrott mot barn, dömdes på torsdagen till livstidsfängelse i Floridas femte rättskrets. Brotten följde på hans benådning 2025 av president Donald Trump, varefter han skrytte online om sin frigivning.

Andrew Paul Johnson, 45, från Florida – som dömdes i februari för åtalspunkter inklusive lascivt eller olovligt sexuellt antastande av offer under 12 och 12–15 år, lascivt eller olovlig exhibition (två åtalspunkter) samt överföring av material skadligt för minderårig – dömdes till livstidsfängelse på torsdagen.  nnSom tidigare rapporterats inleddes utredningen av Hernando County Sheriff's Office i juli 2025 efter en anmälan om sexbrott i Brooksville, Florida. Två minderåriga offer (en pojke och en flicka) rapporterade olämpliga beröranden av Johnson, som kommit in i deras liv 2023 via deras mor på ett politiskt rally och stannat som hantverkare. Myndigheterna hittade explicita Discord-meddelanden; Johnson uppmanade till radering och användning av privata appar.  nnOffren, som intervjuades vid Children's Advocacy Center, beskrev händelserna, gåvor för att tysta dem samt Johnsons roll som fadersfigur som möjliggjorde övergreppen. De vittnade vid rättegången.  nnJohnsons åtal för Jan. 6 (intrång i begränsade områden, störande av ordning) ledde till ett erkännande av skuld 2024, ett års fängelsestraff och benådning av president Trump den 20 januari 2025. Ett konto kopplat till honom publicerade ”Free! At last!” på X dagen efter, och nämnde senare potentiell Trump-ersättning.
