Chase Kevin Allen is a videographer from Seekonk, Massachusetts. He built a YouTube channel and went to Washington on January 6, 2021 to film it. He was 26. Chase Kevin Allen went to document. That is what he told reporters and what he told the court. He never went inside the Capitol building. His single charged offense happened outside, in a media staging area. [FACT - DOJ record, one count] He did not hide behind a lawyer at sentencing. He owned it in his own words. "I'm beyond upset at myself for the actions I took on that day. I can't even comprehend how angry I am at myself because of what transpired." He told the judge it was a one time thing and promised it would never happen again. [THEIR ACCOUNT - statement at sentencing] THE LEGAL FIGHT Chase Kevin Allen was arrested June 30, 2021. An information was filed November 8, 2022 and he pleaded guilty on November 22, 2022 to one count, an act of physical violence on Capitol grounds. On April 20, 2023 he was sentenced to 14 days in jail served in two day increments over a year, three years probation, 50 hours of community service and $500 restitution.
