Paul Rae

Paul Rae, 38, an associate of the Proud Boys, entered the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot moments after fellow Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola smashed an adjacent window to let rioters through, passing through the door alongside Proud Boys organizer Joe Biggs; surveillance footage from inside the building showed Rae and Biggs directly communicating once inside. He pleaded guilty to two charges, entering a restricted building or grounds and civil disorder, with other charges, including obstruction of an official proceeding and destruction of government property, dismissed. He was sentenced on 12/6/2024 to 14 months of incarceration, 24 months of supervised release with conditions, a $125 special assessment, and $2,000 in restitution.
