A pardoned January 6 rioter, Andrew Paul Johnson, has been charged with multiple sex crimes against two children. Johnson's case highlights the stark contrast between the promises of Trump's pardons to those who committed crimes and the harsh realities that have unfolded in their wake.
Johnson was among over 1,500 individuals charged for their involvement in the January 6 riot, which saw supporters of then-President Donald Trump storm the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn his election loss. In a move widely criticized as being lenient on those responsible for the violence, Trump pardoned Johnson after he pleaded guilty to charges related to violently entering the Capitol and disorderly conduct.
However, it was later revealed that Johnson was facing multiple allegations of child sex crimes, including molestation and lewd behavior. According to police reports, Johnson offered one of his alleged victims a chance at reparations money in exchange for silence, using a promise of $10 million as part of Trump's pardon package. He allegedly told the victim to keep quiet about the abuse by putting it in his will.
Johnson has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges, including molestation and lewd behavior against two children under the age of 16. His trials are set to begin early next year. Despite Johnson's claims that he is entitled to reparations money as part of Trump's pardon package, there is no indication that any such compensation will be forthcoming.
Johnson's case is not an isolated incident. Other pardoned rioters have also faced charges related to sex crimes against children. The revelation serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the failure of accountability in institutions.
In this case, Johnson's pardon package included promises of $10 million for his involvement in the January 6 riots. However, there is no evidence that he will receive any reparations for his alleged crimes against children.

I'm literally shook by this news! A guy who got a pardon from Trump gets charged with multiple sex crimes against kids 
. It's like, what's the point of even having a pardon if you're just gonna get caught doing something worse? And now they're telling him he won't get any reparations money? That's just cold 
. I drew a diagram to try and make sense of it all...
I mean, come on... Trump pardoning some random dude for storming the Capitol and now this guy's facing multiple sex crimes charges? What a joke! 
The man just got away with being part of an insurrection that tried to overturn an election, and then he gets a slap on the wrist for molestation and lewd behavior? 
And don't even get me started on the fact that he was promised $10 million as part of his pardon package. Like, what's next? A presidential apology for his own crimes? 
This whole thing is just a huge mess...
, and it's crazy to think about how complex these little creatures' social structures are. anyway, back to johnson... i mean, who gives someone a million bucks for doing something that bad? 
like, what were the authorities thinking? and another thing, have you seen those documentaries on historical reenactments? they're so cool

. We need to hold people like Johnson accountable for their actions and make sure justice is served

its all so messed up.
This is wild how some people get off scot-free after committing these heinous crimes. I mean, Trump's pardons were always a red flag to me, and now it seems like they're just a recipe for disaster 
.
and if you commit crimes, you gotta face the consequences
