Corey Horan

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Corey Horan is an Oceanside, California man charged over the January 6 Capitol breach and pardoned in 2025. The government did not charge him until August 2023, more than two and a half years after the riot. The counts were misdemeanors tied to conduct on Capitol grounds, not violence: entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly and disruptive conduct, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading in a Capitol building. (FACT: court docket; Insurrection Index) He was released on his own recognizance the day he was arrested. No detention, no allegation of assault, no weapons count. The case moved through the court system and closed within about a year and a half of the charges being filed. (FACT: court docket) Thousands of people traveled to Washington that day for the rally that preceded the riot. Corey Horan's case, like many filed late in the investigation, was built from crowd video and social media rather than an on-the-spot arrest, which is part of why the charges did not come until 2023. People searching his name want to know two things: what he was actually charged with, and what happened to the case. Both are answered plainly above: misdemeanor trespass-type counts, resolved before the clemency proclamation reached it. WHERE THINGS STAND: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. That covered Corey Horan and closed the matter for good. (FACT) To most people on a list of more than a thousand names he is a line item. To us he is a person, and until his own family or friends tell his story, this is what the public record shows, plainly and without spin. CASE RECORD Case No. 23-MJ-00192 (later 1:24-cr-00005), U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed 08/07/2023. Arrested 08/08/2023 in the Oceanside, California area. Released on personal recognizance. Clemency granted January 20, 2025. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
