Superior Court of a single count of simple assault. The conviction stems from an incident in which he sat behind an unsuspecting woman on a Metro train, surreptitiously fondled her hair, and broadcast the invasive act on social media.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just a creepy thing to do,\u201d Judge Anthony Epstein, nominated to the bench by President George W. Bush, remarked during proceedings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In court, Betancur\u2019s defense attorney argued that there was not sufficient evidence to prove that he owned the account that posted the \u201ccreepy\u201d video. However, prosecutors pointed to the fact that there were pictures of Betancur on it, and even a video of him bragging about his presidential pardon from Trump. <\/p>\n<p>The judge pointed to the caption on the video as proof of criminal intent. \u201cBlondes are a good adventure and yeah she gave me permission Lol,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>The victim delivered emotional testimony, detailing the lasting trauma inflicted by the online stunt.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5315\">Trump\u2019s Desperate Calls to Karoline Leavitt, 28, Exposed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think about this video every single day,\u201d she testified. \u201cI think about this video every time I get on the Metro, which is twice every single day.\u201d She added, \u201cIt was very upsetting and unsettling to see someone had touched me and posted about it on the internet without my consent,\u201d explaining that the ordeal left her feeling paranoid and exposed in public.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan Betancur, who wore Proud Boys attire during the Jan. 6 insurrection and was photographed holding a Confederate flag while wearing an ankle monitor for a prior burglary conviction, previously served four months in prison for his role in the Capitol attack before receiving his presidential pardon.<\/p>\n<p>His latest legal trouble carries a maximum sentence of 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Prosecutors indicated they intend to push for additional jail time rather than granting him credit for the 125 days he has already served following an April bail violation.<\/p>\n<p>The transit assault is hardly an isolated incident. The defendant is also facing a stalking charge in Washington along with assault and battery charges in Arlington, Virginia, where he is accused of livestreaming himself touching another woman\u2019s hair on a train. <\/p>\n<p>Transit police noted multiple clips uploaded to X depicting him running his hands through women\u2019s hair, including inside a station, despite claiming in one screenshot that a passenger had given permission.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5314\">Trump\u2019s Truth Social Faces Fresh Battle After Humiliating Loss<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>A formal sentencing hearing is scheduled for Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pardoned Capitol rioter has been convicted after touching a woman\u2019s hair on the D.C. metro, which the judge described as a \u201ccreepy thing to do.\u201d Read more Fox News Host Calls BS on Trump\u2019s Big Brag Bryan Betancur, a self-professed white supremacist who was previously granted clemency by President Donald Trump, was found guilty [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
