A Colorado grandmother was sentenced to a six-figure fine plus a year of probation for praying at the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021.
On Monday, Rebecca Lavrenz, a great-grandmother in her 70s who is also known as the “J6 Praying Grandma” on social media, was sentenced after she was convicted on four misdemeanor charges this spring. Lavrenz was found guilty of entering and remaining in a restricted building; disorderly conduct and disruptive conduct in a restricted building; disorderly conduct in the Capitol; and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the Capitol.
According to the Denver Post, Lavrenz, who avoided jail time, “was sentenced Monday to 12 months of probation and six months of home detention with an internet restriction” in addition to “more than $103,000 in fines, restitution and special assessments.”
Lavrenz explained the extent of her conduct at the Capitol during a telephone interview with Newsmax on Wednesday.
“I went through a door that opened in front of me, and I walked through the Capitol. I carried God’s presence into that building for about 10 minutes, walked out, did not shout, stayed within the lines, and was not stopped by any police officers and walked back out,” she said.
Lavrenz was arrested less than a week before Christmas in December 2022, and prosecutors at the Department of Justice (DOJ) had requested 10 months incarceration before this week’s sentencing.
