Kenneth John Reda
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageKenneth John Reda spent his working life with kids in a gym and on a field. FACT: He was a physical education teacher and a football coach at Viera High School in Florida. That is a life of showing up for young people — teaching them to move, to compete, to be part of a team. On January 6, 2021 he went inside the Capitol. The court record: the government dropped the other counts and he pleaded guilty to a single Class B misdemeanor — parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. He was sentenced to 60 days of home detention and three years of probation, with $500 restitution. No prison. FACT: He told the court he lost his teaching and coaching job after his arrest — a real cost paid by a man who had spent years serving students. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued clemency covering January 6 defendants; individual application should be confirmed against the docket. We lead with what's true: an educator and coach who gave his community years of his life. FACT — case record: Case No. 1:21-cr-452, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 7/5/21. Charged via criminal information 7/7/21. Pleaded guilty 11/4/21. Sentenced 3/30/22. DOJ page: https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/defendants/reda-kenneth-john This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
