A Chicago Man Pleads Guilty to Inciting and Participating in 2020 Rioting
A Chicago man on Tuesday pleaded guilty to inciting and participating in a riot after he made an online post encouraging crowds to loot downtown businesses in summer 2020.
Nearly a year after his initial charging in March, 23-year-old James Massey pleaded guilty in federal court on Tuesday to inciting, participating and carrying on a riot, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
He faces up to five years in prison but will likely be given a two-year sentence upon his return to court for his sentencing scheduled for May 10, the Sun-Times added.
