Pardoned Capitol Rioter Tried to Hush Child Sex Victim With Promise of January 6 Reparation Money, Police Say
A shocking case has emerged in the United States involving a pardoned January 6 rioter who attempted to silence a child sex victim by promising them reparations for their alleged crimes. Andrew Paul Johnson, 44, was among those pardoned by former President Donald Trump after being charged with violent entry into the Capitol and disorderly conduct following the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
However, in a disturbing turn of events, Johnson has been accused of molesting children as young as 11 years old and making them watch explicit content or videos. The alleged abuse began when one of his victims was just 11 years old and continued until the child was under the age of 16.
According to police reports, Johnson allegedly dangled the prospect that one of the victims could receive reparations money, which he claimed he was entitled to as part of a $10 million compensation package for his January 6 arrest. He reportedly told one victim that if they didn't say anything, he would put them in his will to receive any remaining funds after his death.
Johnson's actions have left authorities and child welfare advocates stunned, particularly given that many of the rioters who were pardoned by Trump have since faced new legal troubles, including charges related to sex crimes against children. Johnson's case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by those who seek to exploit their power and influence for personal gain.
As investigations continue, it remains to be seen how this case will unfold and what consequences Johnson may face for his alleged crimes. The incident highlights the need for continued vigilance in protecting vulnerable populations from those who would seek to harm or exploit them.

This pardoned guy's behavior is straight outta a horror movie 
️! Like, one minute he's gettin' away with everything and the next he's tryin' to silence a kid who knows his dirty secrets 
. And to make matters worse, he's makin' them feel guilty for not speakin' up by sayin' he'll leave 'em some money in his will... talk about manipulative 
. How can people like this even get away with this stuff? It's so messed up. We need to be more vigilant in protectin' kids from predators like him. This is why we need better laws and support for victims 
.
is this even real life?! 
A pardoned Capitol rioter trying to silence a child sex victim with a promise of reparations money? 
I'm literally shaking right now thinking about the young kids who were allegedly subjected to such abuse. The fact that this guy was part of Trump's pardon program is just mind-blowing 
This case needs to be thoroughly investigated ASAP! 
that's just sick. I feel like we need to do more to hold people in power accountable for their actions, especially when it comes to vulnerable populations. We cant just let these monsters walk free because of some political favor or leniency. The justice system needs a serious overhaul if this kind of thing can happen again 
I mean, have you seen the stats on pardoned felons committing heinous crimes? Like, 70% of them reoffend within 3 years 
. Here's a chart showing the average sentence length for child molestation cases in the US: 
anyone who thinks they can exploit their power or influence for personal gain needs to be held accountable 
these victims deserve justice and support, not some pawn in a game of manipulation 
. It's even more messed up that this guy was pardoned by Trump and now he's trying to use his influence to silence victims of child abuse 
. And the way he threatened one of the victims with putting them in his will if they didn't shut up is just...wow 
.
can you believe this guy? Andrew Paul Johnson, pardoned by Trump, and now he's trying to strong-arm a child sex victim into silence with some cash. Like, what's next? Offering forgiveness in exchange for their firstborn? 
. We need to do better than this, we can't keep letting people like him get away with this kind of behavior 
.
the fact that he was trying to use the january 6 reparations money as leverage to keep quiet is just disgusting. i mean, we're already seeing how some of these rioters are using their pardons to get away with other crimes, so now this guy is trying to use them to cover up his own abuse? it's like he thinks he's above the law 
I mean, it's not right at all. We need to make sure these monsters get held accountable for what they do
