DENVER — 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.

Following Jan. 6, 2021, multiple tipsters alerted federal investigators that Lavrenz had been among the rioters who unlawfully entered the Capitol, according to court records.

Through phone records, surveillance camera footage and a consensual interview with Lavrenz, FBI agents were able to track her to the Capitol riot after attending a nearby “Stop the Steal” rally, according to court records.

Lavrenz was arrested on Dec. 19, 2022, and her trial began on March 25 in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., in front of a 12-person jury.
