Joshua Abate and Dodge Dale Hellonen are scheduled to be sentenced in September by US District Judge Ana Reyes. Both pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building, according to a spokesperson for the US Attorney`s office for the District of Columbia.
