Jason Kessler, the organizer of the so-called “Unite the
Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, has been indicted for perjury
related to an incident in January. A capias has been issued for his
arrest.
A grand jury in Albemarle County issued an indictment for
Kessler on a felony perjury charge over a sworn statement he made
earlier this year, according to local media outlet CBS19.
Kessler gave a statement to a magistrate claiming that he
was assaulted by James Taylor while collecting signatures to have Wes
Bellamy removed from the Charlottesville City Council.
But a video later revealed that Kessler was the one who
attacked Taylor. Assault charges against Taylor were dropped in March,
while Kessler ended up pleading guilty to assault in April.
