Aidan Kearney, the Turtleboy blogger, is charged with witness intimidation and wiretapping charges in connection with an alleged altercation he had with an ex-girlfriend in December 2023. He is also facing charges of witness intimidation, picketing witnesses, and conspiracy to intimidate witnesses in the Karen Read case who is accused of backing into her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, with her SUV and leaving him to die in a blizzard in January 2022. Kearney is accused of going to great lengths to harass witnesses in Read's case, alleging that he held rallies outside the homes of witnesses, 'made scenes' at their children's sporting events, confronted them at their places of work, and conspired with an Avon police dispatcher to check the registration on vehicles parked outside the home of a Massachusetts State Police trooper who investigated the death of O'Keefe.
