Criminal History
As set forth in the PSR, Marroquin has never been charged with or convicted of a crime other than a traffic infraction in the United States.
However, that significantly understates his criminal history. Marroquin was convicted of Rape of a Minor and Trafficking of a Minor in Bolivia. Importantly, these convictions were the result of Marroquin abusing his position as a missionary who had gone to poor, rural parts of Bolivia to provide aid to the disadvantaged. In this position of power, he trafficked and sexually abused two minor girls and committed fraud in the adoption process of a third girl. For these convictions, he was sentenced to 25 years of incarceration, but was repatriated to the United States in 2012, after having spent only four years of his twenty-five-year sentence in a Bolivian prison. Marroquin did not mention anything about his criminal convictions in Bolivia to the Probation Office and instead described his fourteen years of living in Bolivia “conducting missionary work.”
Ironically, in his respective speeches at the Lincoln Memorial on January 5, 2021, and inside the East Vestibule of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, Marroquin made repeated references to the Q’Anon conspiracy and wore a hat emblazoned with a “Q.” A key tenet of the Q’Anon conspiracy is the baseless idea that “the elite” are trafficking children for nefarious ends.
