WASHINGTON, D.C., USA — Federal authorities arrested three cousins in York on May 30 for their alleged involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Investigators charged Tyler Henson, Stephen Oseen and Jamie Charlesworth, seen in U.S. Capitol surveillance footage, for entering or remaining in a restricted building, disorderly conduct and picketing in a Capitol Building.
It's been more than three years since rioters broke into the U.S. Capitol disrupting the certification of Joe Biden's 2020 presidential victory.
Federal investigators are still bringing cases against people who may have been involved, a fact Former Federal Judge John E. Jones isn't surprised by.
"This is a typical wide-ranging FBI investigation," said Jones, now the president of Dickinson College in Carlisle. "Every inch of the Capitol grounds is visible by camera. So, they're enhancing those videos, looking at people. There are protestors who are obviously talking about folks who were there as they plead guilty or cooperate with the government."
A few weeks after the Capitol riot, court documents show investigators received a tip about a video posted to Henson's Facebook page showing him in a large crowd near the entrance to the Capitol.
Authorities claim Henson was also seen in body camera footage outside the Capitol before security footage shows him entering the building through a window near the Senate Wing Doors.
In an interview in August of 2021, Henson reportedly admitted to investigators he'd traveled to Washington D.C. on January 6th with his cousins Oseen and Charlesworth.
Charlesworth allegedly entered through the Senate Wing Doors. Oseen is accused of entering through the nearby window.
Charlesworth was also spotted on surveillance footage from inside the Capitol Crypt, according to investigators.
The three are shown leaving the building separately and were all out by the time Capitol Police reinforcements arrived less than an hour later.
They're not accused of engaging with police.
Jones said they'll get their day in court.
"The idea that the federal government is out to get people who smashed doors and windows and invaded the Capitol and were trespassers and worse, and people died as a result of that riot, it astonishing to me. That's just nonsense," he said. "These defendants are given abundant due process, every right that the constitution says that they should receive."
Jones said they likely won't be the last to face charges.
"They may find you eventually even if you haven't been charged to this point," he said. "I think the investigations clearly will go onward."
The three men were released on supervision after their arrests.
All are scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Washington D.C.
