Aaron Mostofsky, a 35-year-old from Brooklyn, New York, pleaded guilty to one felony count of civil disorder, one count of theft of government property and one count of entering and remaining in a restricted building. U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg accepted Mostofsky’s guilty plea and set a sentencing hearing for May.
Under the terms of a plea deal, federal prosecutors will drop the charge against Mostofsky that subjected him to the longest potential prison sentence: obstruction of an official proceeding.
