One of the Donald Trump supporters that stormed Capitol Hill earlier this month is an ex-school therapist who quit her job to expose ‘human trafficking and pedophillia’.
Christine Marie Priola, 49, who used to work as a school therapist in Ohio before quitting her job with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, who photographed among the crowds that swarmed Capitol Hill on January 6.
Priola resigned from her role as a school therapist the day after the picture of her standing at Mike Pence‘s desk in the House was taken, NBC News reports.

In her resignation letter on January 7, Priola linked her decision to three factors, including moving on to ‘expose the global evil of human trafficking and pedophillia, including in our government and children’s agencies’.
In a criminal complaint written by Deputy US Marshal David Kasulones, police have charged Priola with violent entry and disorderly conduct; knowingly entering a restricted building; and unlawful activities on Capitol grounds.
The FBI were able to track Priola down after agents in Cleveland received a tip off.
Last week, the FBI searched her home and left with a plastic bag and multiple boxes.
She made an appearance in front of a federal judge on Thursday and was released on a bond of $20,000.

Priola has also been ordered to provide all passwords and submit to electronic device searches and is only allowed restricted computer access until her next hearing.
The picture of Priola in the Senate chambers showed her interacting with another rioter, who was sat in a chair in the House.
Tucked under Priola’s arm is a sign which said: ‘The children cry out for justice’.
The charges come after supporters of Donald Trump stormed Capitol Hill on January 6 in the hope of preventing Congress from formally confirming Joe Biden’s election victory.
So far, at least 82 people have been arrested and more than 55 have been charged over the insurrection.
Hundreds more are being hunted by the authorities but are yet to be found, including 25 people who are being investigated on terrorism charges.
