一名在大陪审团任职的女性参与了对凯伦·里德的高调调查上个月被判谋杀罪名不成立根据周二提交的一份法庭文件，在她的男友同意对联邦指控认罪的情况下，她泄露了秘密诉讼的信息。
杰西卡·莱斯利同意对刑事藐视罪的指控认罪，该指控指控她故意违反禁止披露大陪审团信息的法庭规则。
莱斯利披露了“出现在大陪审团面前的各种证人的姓名，他们的证词和提交给大陪审团的其他证据的内容，而所有这些信息都是密封的，不得披露，”联邦检察官说。
虽然指控文件没有指明莱斯利是里德案件中的大陪审员，但消息人士向美国广播公司新闻证实了这一案件。
里德最初于2022年6月被波士顿大陪审团起诉，原因是她的警官男友约翰·奥基夫死亡。检察官指控里德在2022年1月一夜酗酒后，在一名警察同事的家外面用她的车撞了奥基夫，然后在一场大暴风雪中让他死在那里。
第一次审判以无效审判告终去年陪审团未能达成一致裁决后。
在上个月结束的第二次试验中，里德是被判对她最严重的指控不成立-谋杀、过失杀人和事故后离开现场。她被判酒后驾车罪，被判缓刑一年。
法庭记录显示，莱斯利同意监禁一天，视为服刑，并接受24个月的监督释放。
认罪听证会没有立即安排。
联邦检察官没有说明他们是如何得知莱斯利泄露了大陪审团的秘密信息，但消息人士称，在一起受到广泛关注的案件中，当局一直在监控社交媒体账户和其他通信。
Grand juror in Karen Read case charged with leaking information
A woman who served on the grand jury as part of the high-profile investigation into Karen Read -- who wasacquitted of murder charges last monthin the death of her boyfriend -- agreed to plead guilty to a federal charge she leaked information from the secret proceeding, according to a court document filed Tuesday.
Jessica Leslie agreed to plead guilty to a charge of criminal contempt that accused her of willfully disobeying court rules against disclosure of grand jury information.
Leslie disclosed "the names of various witnesses appearing before the grand jury and the substance of their testimony and other evidence presented to the grand jury, all while said information was under seal and not subject to disclosure," federal prosecutors said.
While the charging document did not specify that Leslie was a grand juror in the Read case, sources confirmed the case to ABC News.
Read was originally indicted by a Boston grand jury in June 2022 in the death of her police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe. Prosecutors alleged Read hit O'Keefe with her car outside the home of a fellow police officer after a night of heavy drinking in January 2022 and then left him to die there during a major blizzard.
The first trialended in a mistriallast year after the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict.
In a second trial that ended last month, Read wasfound not guilty of the most serious charges against her-- murder, manslaughter and leaving the scene after an accident. She was convicted of operating under the influence of liquor and sentenced to one year of probation.
Leslie agreed to a sentence of incarceration for one day, deemed served, and 24 months of supervised release, court records said.
A plea hearing was not immediately scheduled.
Federal prosecutors did not say how they learned Leslie had disclosed secret grand jury information, but sources said authorities had been monitoring social media accounts and other communications during a case that received widespread attention.
