Pardoned #CapitolRioter Tried to Hush #ChildSexVictim With Promise of #January6 Reparation Money, Police Say

#AndrewJohnson claimed to an alleged #ChildMolestation victim that #Trump’s pardon entitled him to multimillion-dollar reparations.

"A pardoned January 6 rioter has been charged with #SexCrimes against two children. #AndrewPaulJohnson was arraigned in a Florida court in October on multiple charges, including molesting a child as young as 11 years old, joining a growing list of U.S. Capitol rioters pardoned by President Donald Trump who now face new legal trouble.

"Johnson dangled the prospect that one of the children could receive money because, Johnson claimed, he was entitled to $10 million as part of reparations for his January 6 arrest, according to a police report from a Hernando County Sheriff’s Department detective.

"Those convicted and later pardoned for involvement in the January 6 riot have not been rewarded any reparations, though Trump and January 6 rioters have floated the idea of a compensation fund." [Which now exists!!!]

But one of the most useful perks that great social status and privilege confers upon a person such as Yglesias or Stancil or Anil Dash is a certain leeway in committing small crimes, the sort of crimes that "everyone" commits (such as being deceitful and abusive on the Internet) but which are tolerated so long as they're being committed by someone sufficiently important.

The scope of permissible crime grows wider as status increases, to the point that VERY powerful and important persons in the United States and "The West" are de facto allowed to commit sexual assaults and even child molestation without much expectation that they'll ever be brought to justice. There may be even be, in Christian circles (e.g. within the leadership of Christian churches and priesthoods) the quiet conviction that the really powerful and important people must have their depraved appetites appeased, forgiven ahead of time because these persons are supposedly mighty warriors for the Christian faith.

Now that's an extreme case of the lenity that's accorded to people of high status. The scale of social privilege is an exponential one: there's a very thin slice of the population that gets the really lax treatment, who are (quite probably) able to get away with literal murder, and then the benefits dwindle away quickly once you descend from the loftiest heights of the exponential slope. But even relatively unimportant persons with soft privileged careers, such as opinion columnists or #technology entrepreneurs, enjoy far more impunity and freedom from worries about getting done for small offences than the ordinary human being on Earth. It's the poor and marginalized peoples of the world who get stuck with the label "criminal", as if it were a state of being, an "ontological evil".
