“He joined a group of rioters who were resisting the police, intentionally lending his weight and strength to the effort to break through the police line,” a document accompanying Aaron Mostofsky's plea reads. “His conduct was not involuntary.'
Brooklyn resident Aaron Mostofsky inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has pleaded guilty to three charges, including a felony, for his role in the January 6th insurrection.
Mostofsky, a 35-year-old Midwood resident, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of civil disorder, along with theft of government property and entering and remaining in a restricted building, both misdemeanors. According to his guilty plea, Mostofsky was “dressed as a caveman and carrying a walking stick” as he joined a group of rioters pushing against police officers outside the U.S. Capitol building.
“He was not part of the mob and he was not rampaging,” his attorney, Jeff Schwartz, argued during a previous court hearing. “He understands the whole thing in Washington got totally out of hand.”
