Washington, D.C. — A Des Moines (Iowa) man seen at the front of a group of rioters inside the I-S Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was sentenced today (Friday) to five-years in prison, with three-years of supervised release. Doug Jensen is also required to pay $2,000 in restitution. Jensen told the court he can’t change the past, except he wants to put politics aside and to simply go back to being a family man.

Judge Thomas Kelly, who handed down the sentence, said the man’s actions were not heroic or patriotic, but at the same time, he was “not a monster.” Prosecutors had suggested 64 months in prison, while Jensen’s defense attorney proposed 27 months in jail.

Jensen was found guilty of all counts against him by a Washington, D.C., jury in September.
