Andrew Paul Johnson, authorities said, tried to keep one of his victims mum by floating the promise of money he was expecting to receive from the Justice Department.

Johnson was convicted last month of five charges including molesting a child under 12 and another under 16, as well as lewd and lascivious exhibition and transmitting harmful materials by electronic device to a minor.

Johnson, 45, has now been sentenced to life, according to the Office of State Attorney Bill Gladson of the Fifth Judicial Circuit in Florida.

Johnson told one of the victims that he would see a windfall from the government after his pardon, and that he would put the victim in his will to take any leftover money, according to law enforcement.

Trump has discussed the possibility of taxpayer-funded payouts for Jan. 6 defendants, The Justice Department already gave out just under $5 million to the family of Ashli Babbitt, who was shot as she jumped through a broken window leading into the House Speaker’s gallery.
