A woman who brought her 14-year-old son to the Capitol on Jan. 6 last year will serve three months in jail for illegally parading in the complex during the insurrection, CNN reported Friday.
Why it matters: Virginia Spencer and her husband entered a hallway of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's offices while inside the Capitol, later joining a crowd that attempted to enter the House chamber as lawmakers were still trapped inside, per court documents.
Spencer will also be on probation for three years.
Details: Spencer pleaded guilty in September and expressed regret over her actions on Jan. 6, but District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly rebuked her on Friday for her "lack of judgment," per CNN.
It's "very hard to comprehend ... why you would bring a 14-year-old minor son to the Capitol," Kollar-Kotelly said.
"Law enforcement had weapons, some of the [rioters] had weapons," she added. "I don't understand but I sincerely hope he is alright."
Spencer's husband has pleaded not guilty to several charges.
The big picture: The Justice Department has arrested 725 people in connection to the riots in nearly all 50 states.

If only she’d broken the law by coming across the border with her child. then she’d get $450k from “the big guy”.
I’d like to see the sub-section where parading is a clear
violation of law.
I guess the Rose Parade is going to result in massive arrests
and prison sentences in 2023.
Traitor. Go join the other side. Many like this lady were patriots who were tired of being ignored by our communist “elite”.
Did she drive the kid over in the trunk or something?
Sounds about right these days.
If the cops were directing people into the building that day those people should have realized they were being set up.
