“J6 Praying Grandma” avoids jail time for entering US Capitol on Jan. 6

An El Paso County woman received no prison time after being found guilty of four charges related to entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to justice officials.

Rebecca Lavrenz, a 71-year-old woman from Falcon who goes by “J6 Praying Grandma” on social media, was sentenced Monday to 12 months of probation and six months of home detention with an internet restriction, according to court records.

Lavrenz was also charged more than $103,000 in fines, restitution and special assessments, U.S. Department of Justice officials said in an emailed statement to the Denver Post.

The 71-year-old woman was convicted in April on four misdemeanor charges: entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly conduct inside a restricted building with the intent to disrupt government proceedings, disorderly conduct on Capitol property and picketing or demonstrating in the Capitol.
