WATCH | Ashlyn Rogers speaks prior to being sentenced for role in 2024 Cleveland street takeover

Video Description

Ashlyn Rogers, the Port Clinton woman who investigators believe orchestrated the Sept. 28-29, 2024, street takeovers in Cleveland, received her sentence in court on Tuesday. Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Kira Krivosh sentenced the 23-year-old Rogers to 18 months in prison for disrupting public service, plus a 12 month prison sentence for aggravated riot. Krivosh made the sentences concurrent, meaning Rogers will only serve a total of 18 months. Rogers will also be subject to probation for up to two years following her release. She received credit for two days served in jail. "I want to express that I take full responsibility for my actions," Rogers told Krivosh prior to her sentencing. "I understand that what I did was wrong, and I deeply regret the choices that led me here. I'm not here to excuse or minimize my actions, but to express my sincere remorse and to take accountability for the harm that was caused by my choices." Rogers added that since the street takeover, she has undergone individual and group therapy while surrounding herself "with better influences." "I'm not the same person I was on September 28th, and I hope you can see that I'm working hard and doing everything I can to be better for myself, my family and friends, and for the community," she added. On June 11, Rogers agreed to plead guilty to aggravated riot and disrupting public service as her trial was getting underway. A charge of possessing criminal tools was nolled. As part of her plea, Rogers agreed to forfeit her 2020 Infinity Q50 and a cell phone to the Cleveland Division of Police.
