A Florida man who was pardoned by US President Donald Trump for his role in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021 has been sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.  45-year-old Andrew Paul Johnson was convicted of five charges, including one count of molesting a child under 12 and another count of molesting a child under 16. According to police in Hernando County, Florida, one victim claimed the abuse started in April 2024 when they were just 11 years old.  The authorities say Johnson told one victim he would be compensated for being a pardoned January 6 rioter and would put the child in his will to inherit any leftover money.  Sexually explicit messages Johnson exchanged with one of the victims were also found on the messaging app Discord. Johnson also reportedly encouraged the victim to download another app for a more private conversation and asked them to delete their messages afterwards.  He was sentenced to one year in prison in August 2024 for misdemeanor charges related to his role in the January 6 Capitol riot.
