Virginia Jenny Marie Spencer
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Virginia Marie Spencer, known to people who know her as Jenny, is a wife and mother from Pilot Mountain, North Carolina. Thirty-seven years old at sentencing. Surry County, foothills of the Blue Ridge. She pleaded guilty to ONE misdemeanor. One. And she told the court she was ashamed. ## The legal fight Jenny Spencer was arrested on February 8, 2021, just over a month after January 6. She was charged by superseding indictment on March 10, 2021. She was arraigned on March 31, 2021 and pleaded NOT GUILTY to all four counts. On September 9, 2021, she entered a plea agreement and pleaded guilty to ONE count: parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. That is the lowest-level misdemeanor in the entire January 6 charge set. Every other count against her was dismissed. On January 7, 2022, the court sentenced her to 3 months of incarceration, a $10 special assessment, and $500 in restitution. ## Clemency On January 20, 2025, Virginia Marie Spencer received a full pardon under the presidential proclamation covering January 6 convictions. ## What the record shows FACT: Virginia Marie Spencer of Pilot Mountain, North Carolina was convicted of ONE misdemeanor count. FACT: she was never charged with assaulting an officer. She was never charged with a weapons offense. She was never charged with a felony of violence. THEIR ACCOUNT: at her January 2022 sentencing she told the court she was ashamed, per contemporaneous North Carolina reporting. ## What this does not prove A three month sentence on a parading misdemeanor is not a portrait of a woman's life. Jenny Spencer went home to Pilot Mountain. She is a wife and a mother in a small North Carolina town, and this archive does not publish anything about her family beyond that. Misdemeanor is not felony. Parading is not assault. The record does not lie. ## Case record - Case: 1:21-cr-147, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia - Arrest: February 8, 2021 - Superseding indictment: March 10, 2021 - Arraignment and not-guilty plea: March 31, 2021 - Plea agreement: September 9, 2021, guilty to one misdemeanor count - Sentence: 3 months incarceration, $500 restitution, January 7, 2022 - Clemency: Full pardon, January 20, 2025 This profile is unclaimed.
