Kelly O'Brien is a North Whitehall Township woman out of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley. FACT: Kelly O'Brien was arrested August 18, 2021. Her case was filed as 1:21-cr-633 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. FACT: She pleaded guilty January 5, 2022. On April 6, 2022 she was sentenced to 90 days of incarceration, 12 months of supervised release, a $1,000 fine, $500 restitution, and a $25 special assessment. The government moved to dismiss the remaining counts. She served her time and she came home. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued clemency covering January 6 convictions. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: the local coverage of Kelly O'Brien reported her sentence and almost nothing else. Her occupation, her family, her service record, and what she said to the court were never published anywhere. A woman from Lehigh County served 90 days in federal custody and the entire public record of who she is runs about four sentences long. That is the reason this archive exists. The sentence is not the person. A docket line is not a life. THE CASE RECORD Name: Kelly O'Brien Case number: 1:21-cr-633 Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Residence: North Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania Sentence: 90 days incarceration, 12 months supervised release, $1,000 fine, $500 restitution This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
