Andrew Paul Johnson, a Florida man who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and was later pardoned by President Donald Trump, has been convicted by a Hernando County jury of multiple child sex-abuse-related offenses, including lewd and lascivious exhibition and molestation charges involving a child who was 11 at the time, according to NPR and Florida prosecutors.
