Benjamin Bowden
January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageBenjamin Bowden was charged more than three years after January 6 — and never convicted of anything. IDENTITY NOTE: This profile matches the only January 6 defendant named Benjamin Bowden in DOJ records — a man from Orrington, Maine. (Bangor Daily News; Portland Press Herald) FACT: Bowden was charged in May 2024 with entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct, parading, and destruction of government property. Those were allegations. They were never proven in any courtroom. (Bangor Daily News; WGME) FACT: His case was still pending when the January 20, 2025 presidential proclamation granting clemency for January 6 offenses directed dismissal of pending prosecutions. He walks with a clean verdict sheet: no conviction, ever. (DOJ Office of the Pardon Attorney; Wikipedia) THE CASE RECORD: Charged by criminal complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, May 2024, with entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; parading, demonstrating, or picketing; and destruction of government property. Case pending at the time of the January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation directing dismissal of pending January 6 prosecutions. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
