‘QAnon Shaman’ unrecognizable in mugshot from Virginia jail | New York Post

The accused Capitol rioter dubbed the QAnon Shaman is sporting a new look — sans horns — in this newly released mugshot.

The notorious shaman, whose real name is Jacob Chansley, is virtually unrecognizable without the furry headdress, horns and face paint in the jailhouse photo released by officials in Alexandria, Va.

Mugshots of federal inmates are difficult to obtain, according to Law and Crime, which published the photo.

In 2016, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals held that suspects can assert privacy interests in booking photos. The majority of judges in that case ruled that mugshots “convey guilt” and “haunt the depicted individual for decades,” the outlet reported.
