"The government had sought a prison sentence of at least 188 months for the former owner of the original BreachForums, while the defense sought probation with weekend jail time for a year. Judge Leonie Brinkema, who had previously sentenced Fitzpatrick to time served plus 20 years supervised release with special conditions, re-sentenced Fitzpatrick after the Fourth Circuit vacated her original sentence as being unreasonable in light of the seriousness of his crimes and the need to send a message of deterrence to others."
Conor Fitzpatrick, the former owner of BreachForums, was re-sentenced in Virginia. The government sought at least 188 months while the defense sought probation and weekend jail. Judge Leonie Brinkema re-sentenced Fitzpatrick after the Fourth Circuit vacated the prior sentence as unreasonable given the seriousness of the offenses and deterrence needs. The court imposed 36 months in prison with credit for time served and a concurrent 20-year supervised release term, with a longer term tied to the child pornography count. Fitzpatrick will serve at FCI Danbury Low and remains on personal recognizance bond until surrender. The hearing minutes did not mention mental health services or explain the 36-month term.
