Jessica M. Leslie, 34, was charged Friday with one count of criminal contempt after federal prosecutors accused her of leaking information about the secretive proceedings.
Prosecutors allege Leslie disclosed sealed information about the grand jury proceedings, including the names of various witnesses appearing before a federal grand jury.
A plea agreement filed in federal court proposes Leslie be sentenced to 'one day, deemed served,' meaning she may avoid prison if a judge accepts.
While prosecutors have not publicly specified the grand jury proceedings in question, it was reported that Leslie was accused of leaking information related to the Karen Read case.
