Edward Hemenway is a January 6th insurrectionist from Indiana. He also served five years after confining his ex-wife in a motel room and raping her. He was sentenced to 45 days for his role in the insurrection.

The details in many of the cases HuffPost found in its original investigation are similarly disturbing. Capitol rioter Edward Hemenway was released from prison in 2013 after serving five years on rape, sexual battery and criminal confinement charges. According to court records, Hemenway lured his estranged wife to a hotel in 2004 where he handcuffed her, duct-taped her mouth shut and raped her. Another insurrectionist, Guy Reffitt from Wylie, Texas, put his wife in a chokehold in 2018 until she almost lost consciousness, according to a police report. When the cop asked how long he had choked his wife, Reffitt responded that “he had trouble remembering but he said not long because he loves her,” according to the report. Reffitt’s wife, Nicole Reffitt, confirmed to HuffPost in February that the physical altercation did happen, although she couldn’t recall specific details.
