Riley Williams, a 22-year-old far-right extremist from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced to three years in prison for her role in the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. Prosecutors argued that Williams had "distasteful" beliefs and was an "accelerant" of the mob, leading an "army" up a set of stairs toward the office of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. At her sentencing hearing, Williams was accused of obstructing the investigation and denying responsibility for her actions. U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss ultimately sentenced Williams to three years in prison and three years of supervised release.
