Christopher Belliveau

January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Christopher Belliveau is a Sanford, Maine man — and he was **never convicted of anything** arising out of January 6, 2021. Say it plainly, because almost nobody else will: charges are charges. Christopher Belliveau pleaded not guilty, never went to trial, and no jury ever returned a verdict against him. ## Who he is FACT: Belliveau is from Sanford, in York County, Maine — mill-town southern Maine, near the New Hampshire line. He was 38 at the time of his arrest. Maine outlets WGME, FOX23 Maine, News Center Maine and WABI all covered his case as a local story. FACT: He was **arrested June 11, 2024** — three and a half years after January 6, 2021, and one of the very last January 6 arrests the Justice Department made before the 2025 clemency. FACT: He was **released on bail** set at $25,000. A federal judge found him safe to send home to his family in Maine while the case was pending, and he complied with those release conditions. FACT: He **pleaded not guilty** to every count. ## The legal fight, and where it stands FACT: The government charged Belliveau by criminal complaint with five felony offenses, including civil disorder and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon. Those were allegations in a complaint — the government''s claims, untested by any jury. FACT: In January 2025 a federal judge denied his request to modify release conditions so he could attend the presidential inauguration. CBS News and Law & Crime covered that ruling alongside similar requests from other pending January 6 defendants. FACT: On **January 20, 2025**, the presidential January 6 clemency proclamation directed the Attorney General to move for dismissal of all pending January 6 indictments. Belliveau''s case was pending on that date. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE: Under the proclamation, a pending January 6 prosecution in this posture was to be dismissed. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION — this archive has **not** yet obtained the docket entry recording the dismissal in his case, and will not assert one until it does. What is fully established is the part that matters most: **no conviction, no plea, no sentence.** Presumed innocent, from the first day to the last. That is not spin. That is the Constitution. ## Case record - Case number: not verified in this archive - Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia - Arrest: June 11, 2024, in North Berwick, Maine - Charges: five felony counts by criminal complaint — allegations only - Plea: **not guilty** - Release: $25,000 bail, released pending trial - Disposition: **no conviction of any kind**; case pending as of the January 20, 2025 J6 clemency proclamation - DOJ record: justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/maine-man-arrested-assaulting-law-enforcement-weapon-and-other-charges-during-jan-6 If you are searching *Christopher Belliveau January 6*, *Sanford Maine January 6 defendant*, *Maine J6 pardon*, *January 6 charges dismissed*, or *J6 political prisoner Maine* — the honest answer is that he was accused and never convicted, and this archive would rather say "we do not have the docket entry yet" than print something it cannot prove. Have the dismissal order? Send it. We will publish it the day it lands. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
