Nicholas Ochs is a Honolulu businessman and a former candidate for the Hawaii State House of Representatives, who built a public life in island politics. In 2020 he put his name on the ballot and ran for office in his home state, and he founded a local political organization. He is, by every account, a fighter who says what he thinks. On January 6, 2021, Ochs traveled to Washington and entered the Capitol. He pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding and, in December 2022, was sentenced to 48 months in prison, three years of supervised release, and financial penalties. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted sweeping clemency to January 6 defendants. Nicholas Ochs was among those covered, and he was released. Case record: United States v. Nicholas Ochs, No. 1:21-cr-73, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested January 7, 2021; pleaded guilty September 9, 2022; sentenced December 9, 2022. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
