Paul Lee Seymour Jr. is a Butler County, Ohio man whose January 6 case was a father-and-son story from start to finish — he and his dad walked in together, and they answered for it together. The court record could hardly be lighter. FACT: Paul Seymour Jr. carried a flag — that's it. Prosecutors confirmed the Seymours damaged no property and physically hurt no one that day. FACT: He was charged by information and pleaded guilty on July 6, 2022 to a misdemeanor for demonstrating in the Capitol. FACT: On November 4, 2022, he was sentenced to 12 months of probation, 60 hours of community service, and $500 restitution. No prison. The court judged this a probation case, full stop. FACT: He gave that community service back to his own corner of southwest Ohio — 60 hours of it, by court order, served at home in Butler County. FACT: On January 20, 2025, Paul Seymour Jr. received a full pardon under the presidential clemency proclamation. A father and son, a flag, roughly half an hour inside, probation served, full pardon. That is the whole record on Paul Lee Seymour Jr. of Butler County, Ohio. CASE RECORD Case No. 1:22-cr-41, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (initially 1:21-mj-00679).
