Dr. Jacquelyn Starer spent more than four decades caring for patients — a Massachusetts physician who went from delivering babies to helping people fight their way out of addiction. FACT: Licensed in Massachusetts since 1983, Jacquelyn Starer held board certifications in obstetrics-gynecology, preventive medicine, and addiction medicine. She practiced at Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital and led the Massachusetts Society of Addiction Medicine — a career built on getting people through the hardest fights of their lives. FACT: On January 6, 2021, she attended the rally in Washington and entered the Capitol through the East Door. She pleaded guilty in April 2024 to eight counts, including assaulting an officer, and was sentenced on September 5, 2024, to nine months in prison, nine months of home confinement, and 24 months of supervised release. FACT: On January 20, 2025, Jacquelyn Starer was covered by the full January 6 pardon proclamation. In July 2026, the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine revoked her right to renew her medical license over the case — the latest chapter in a fight that has drawn statewide coverage. Case record: United States v. Starer, No. 1:23-cr-00260-TJK, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested December 20, 2022. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
