Trump-Pardoned Jan. 6 Rioter Gets 4 Years For Child Porn, Animal Abuse Videos

Summary: Daniel Tocci, a Massachusetts man who took part in the January 6 Capitol riot, has been sentenced to four years in federal prison. President Donald Trump had recently pardoned him for his role in the riot. However, police searched Tocci's home and found over 100,000 illegal files showing severe child abuse and animal torture. In court, his family tried to excuse his behavior by pointing to an autism diagnosis and a recent breakup. A local lawmaker criticized the situation, calling it a case of "predators protecting predators." Tocci is one of multiple pardoned rioters who have since been sentenced for crimes against children.
