The son of a judge who stormed the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, wearing fur, a stolen police vest and holding a police shield, pleaded guilty Wednesday to three counts during a virtual court hearing.
Aaron Mostofsky, 35, of Brooklyn, N.Y., pleaded guilty to one count of felony civil disturbance, one count of theft of government property and one count of entering and remaining in a restricted building. U.S. Magistrate Judge James E. Boasberg accepted Mostofsky's guilty plea and set a sentencing hearing for May.
Under the terms of the plea agreement, federal prosecutors will drop the charge against Mostofsky that had brought him the longest potential prison sentence: hindering a formal proceeding. But Mostofsky pleaded guilty to a felony charge that made it illegal to "obstruct, obstruct and interfere with law enforcement officers" during a civil disturbance, a charge that carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
