Steven Miles, best known by his gay porn persona Sergeant Miles, was sentenced to two years in prison followed by another year of supervised release after he pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer during the Jan. 6 protests and riots in Washington D.C.
Miles, 40, of Zephyrhills, Florida, a member of the Proud Boys group, breached a protective perimeter around the Capitol building and engaged in a physical confrontation with police protecting the building. He was arrested April 12, 2022.
“The confrontation between the mob and the police quickly escalated to a physical fight, during which Miles shoved and attempted to punch an officer, all in an effort to break through the line,” the Department of Justice says in a statement. “In addition to attempting to assault the officer, Miles made additional physical contact with law enforcement officers, seeking to obstruct, impede, and interfere with their efforts to hold back the rioters.”
Miles has voiced support for ex-President Donald Trump. In a complaint filed by the Department of Justice, it includes a photo of Miles wearing a black shirt that reads “Trump 2020 F*** Your Feelings” along with a “Make America Great Again” red hat.
Once inside the building, Miles used a wooden plank to break a door window, opening another breach point.
“Miles entered the Capitol through the broken window, and a cascade of other rioters followed, taking advantage of the smashed window to enter the Capitol as well,” the DOJ says in its statement. “The sheer number of rioters outside and inside the building overwhelmed law enforcement officers. After entering the Capitol building, Miles turned toward the Senate, where he ran into another group of police officers who directed him out of the building three minutes after he had broken into it.”
In addition to the prison sentence and supervised release, Miles was ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution.
Since Jan. 6, 2021, more than 1,313 people have been charged for crimes related to the attack on the U.S. Capitol, the DOJ says.
Miles has appeared in dozens of gay videos including “50 Minutes of Good Sex,” “Scruff in Suits,” and “Punishing the Hole: Scene 1.”
Jessica Watkins, transgender Army veteran and Oath Keepers member, sentenced to eight years in prison for her role in the Jan. 6 insurrection.
