Christopher W. Ortiz
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageChristopher W. Ortiz is a young man from New Jersey. On January 6, 2021, Christopher Ortiz was among the crowd at the Capitol. His case resolved as a misdemeanor — he pleaded guilty to a single count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, with no allegation that anyone was harmed by him. In August 2022 he was sentenced to 12 months of probation, with the first two months in home detention, 100 hours of community service, and $500 in restitution. He completed what the court asked of him. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted sweeping clemency to January 6 defendants, and Christopher W. Ortiz was among those covered.
