Christine Priola, 50, a former occupational therapist for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District who resigned the day after the riot, carried a sign reading "The Children Cry Out For Justice" to the Jan. 6, 2021 rally, then illegally entered the restricted Capitol grounds and climbed the East Rotunda Doors steps into the building during the riot that followed, where she was photographed showing her phone to someone seated in the vice president's chair on the dais. She pleaded guilty in July 2022 to one charge, obstruction of an official proceeding. She was sentenced on 10/28/2022 to 15 months of incarceration and 12 months of supervised release, and was released early after serving nine months.
