Kyle Colton was convicted Thursday of possession of images that exploited a child, and he marks the fourth person pardoned by President Donald Trump to face charges involving some form of child abuse. The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, posted the note Friday on Bluesky, citing Politico legal reporter Kyle Cheney. As Cheney noted, Colton was the one who claimed that Trump’s pardon covered his possession of the images.

He pleaded guilty only to resisting police officers. However, he’s still in police custody despite Trump’s pardon. Charges were brought against him in 2004 for “possession of child sexual abuse material.” Another is Andrew Taake, a Houston, Texas man, who was arrested on an outstanding child sex crimes charge, the Texas Tribune reported earlier this year. Taake was said to be among the men who used bear spray on police officers on Jan. 6. He also used a metal whip on the police. He bragged about his actions on Jan. 6 to a woman he met on an online dating site. He was charged with the online solicitation of a minor in a 2016 incident in which he was accused of sending explicit messages to an undercover officer posing as a 15-year-old girl. Matthew Huttle “has an extensive criminal history that demonstrates a pattern and practice of disrespecting and disobeying the rule of law, which is consistent with his actions on January 6, 2021,” prosecutors alleged in his Jan. 6 case. Among them was a 2 1/2-year prison sentence for beating his 3-year-old son so severely that he had bruises on his backside and neck. It left him unable to sit properly.
