Seth Eden Sarty
January 6 case-file subject
Seth Eden Sarty is a 45 year old man from Rockmart, Georgia, a small town in Polk County west of Atlanta. He went to Washington with his brother. And on January 24, 2025, a federal judge dismissed his indictment WITH PREJUDICE. FACT, court record. With prejudice. That means it is over and it cannot come back. No conviction. No sentence. Not one day. Seth Sarty is one of the people in this archive whose case ended with the government walking away. THE LEGAL FIGHT Seth Sarty and his brother Cepane Sarty, 38, of Marietta, Georgia, were arrested in Georgia on February 5, 2024, more than three years after January 6. FACT, DOJ press release and Georgia Public Broadcasting. He was charged with one felony count of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers plus misdemeanors for unlawful entry, disorderly conduct, physical violence in a restricted building, and demonstrating in the Capitol. CHARGE ONLY. Every one of those was an allegation and nothing more. On March 22, 2024 Seth Sarty pleaded NOT GUILTY. FACT, docket. He never pleaded to anything. On January 21, 2025 the government moved to dismiss. On January 24, 2025 the indictment was dismissed with prejudice under Rule 48(a). FACT, court record. The Office of the Pardon Attorney separately lists SARTY, SETH EDEN as a pardon certificate recipient under the January 20, 2025 proclamation. FACT, DOJ FOIA release. WHAT THIS PROVES A Georgia man was accused, arrested three years later, pleaded not guilty, and had the whole indictment thrown out with prejudice without ever being convicted of anything. That is the record. The record does not lie. WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE It does not prove Seth Eden Sarty did any of the things the government alleged. He was never tried and never convicted. Presumption of innocence stands and always did. CASE RECORD Name: Seth Eden Sarty. Hometown: Rockmart, Georgia. Case number: 1:24-cr-00130-CKK. Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested February 5, 2024. Not guilty plea March 22, 2024. Indictment dismissed with prejudice January 24, 2025. DOJ press release, charging documents, the docket and the pardon certificate list are linked on this profile. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
