Anthony Richard Moat

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Anthony Moat of Philadelphia did something almost no other January 6 defendant did: he called the FBI on himself. FACT: on February 19, 2021 — weeks before any agent knocked on his door — Moat contacted the FBI, admitted he had been inside the Capitol on January 6, and sent a task force officer the video from his own phone (Law & Crime, charging documents). He handed the government its own case. The record matched the honesty. He pleaded guilty on October 28, 2022, to a single count of parading or demonstrating in the Capitol — a misdemeanor. On January 27, 2023, he was sentenced to 10 days of incarceration, $500 restitution, and a $10 special assessment. One of the lightest sentences on the entire J6 docket. On January 20, 2025, presidential clemency covered January 6-related cases. THE CASE RECORD Case 1:21-cr-375, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested April 9, 2021. Initial appearance April 23, 2021. Charged via criminal information May 25, 2021. Arraigned June 4, 2021 — pleaded not guilty to all counts. Pleaded guilty October 28, 2022. Sentenced January 27, 2023, to 10 days of incarceration, $500 restitution, and a $10 special assessment. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
