A pardoned Capitol rioter has been convicted after touching a woman’s hair on the D.C. metro, which the judge described as a “creepy thing to do.”
Bryan Betancur, a self-professed white supremacist who was previously granted clemency by President Donald Trump, was found guilty in D.C. 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.
“It’s just a creepy thing to do,” Judge Anthony Epstein, nominated to the bench by President George W. Bush, remarked during proceedings.
