Mr. Moloney was also charged with taking part in an assault on an Associated Press photographer, John Minchillo, whom several rioters accused of being a member of the leftist movement antifa.
In a separate attack, prosecutors say, Mr. Moloney yanked the camera of another photographer and caused him to stumble down the stairs as well.
Several other rioters have been charged with attacking Mr. Minchillo, including a Pennsylvania man, Alan W. Byerly, who was sentenced in October to 34 months in prison.
Another man who has admitted to joining in the assault, Rodney K. Milstreed, is set to be sentenced next month.
In a Facebook post a few days after the assault, Mr. Milstreed said that attacking Mr. Michillo was “worth it,” adding that he had “hit him with everything god give.”
