Trump-pardoned J-6 insurrectionist avoided prison for child sex offenses AFTER PLEADING GUILTY [View all]

A serial criminal avoided prison for child sex offenses thanks to President Donald Trump's pardon for his violent role in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Andrew Taake pleaded guilty in September to soliciting what he believed was a 15-year-old girl for sex, but The Daily Beast reported the 37-year-old was able to stay out of prison for the sex offense due to the "credit" he was given for time served behind bars for attacking a police office during the U.S. Capitol riot.

"Legal experts branded the decision 'exceptionally rare,'" the website reported. "Multiple attorneys told the Daily Beast that using 'credit' from a pardoned federal case for separate crimes to keep Taake out of prison on unrelated state charges was also 'ethically problematic.'"

”Especially moving from a political/protest crime to child exploitation,” Washington-based trial attorney Evan Oshan told the outlet.
