Jessica M. Leslie has been accused of leaking confidential grand jury information, including names of witnesses and their testimonies, to unauthorized individuals. She is expected to plead guilty to criminal contempt with a proposed sentence of one day served and 24 months of supervised release. Leslie has been released on personal recognizance, with conditions to report to U.S. probation and engage in a mental health treatment program. If she requires inpatient psychiatric treatment, she must inform her supervising officer and provide access to confirm her location.
Federal prosecutors allege Leslie disclosed confidential grand jury information to unspecified "unauthorized individuals" between Aug. 11, 2022, and March 4, 2024. She's accused of leaking the names of witnesses who appeared before the grand jury, the substance of their testimony, and other evidence that was under seal.
Leslie has agreed to plead guilty to one count of criminal contempt, and a plea agreement filed in federal court recommends she be sentenced to "one day, deemed served," 24 months of supervised release, no fine, and a $100 special assessment.
Kelley released Leslie on personal recognizance, with orders to report to U.S. probation and participate in a mental health treatment program.
"Should the defendant ever require inpatient mental health treatment or urgent psychiatric treatment, she must advise her supervising officer of her location within 24 hours of intake into any facility and sign a release of information to permit the officer to confirm this," the conditions of release state.
