Andrew Lelling – Wiki, Bio, Age, Wife, Net Worth

In 2019, Lelling announced charges in the 2019 college admissions bribery scandal and is leading the prosecution. Lelling heads the securities and financial fraud unit that is prosecuting the case. The unit includes Assistant U.S. Attorneys Eric S. Rosen (the lead prosecutor on the case), Justin D. O’Connell, Leslie Wright, and Kristen A. Kearney.

In April 2019, Lelling indicted Massachusetts trial court judge Shelley M. Richmond Joseph and now-retired Court Officer Wesley MacGregor on obstruction of justice charges in regards to an April 2, 2018, incident where the judge and the court officer helped a twice-deported illegal alien who had again illegally entered the U.S. to evade arrest from the Newton District Court. Joseph and MacGregor face three different obstruction charges: conspiracy, aiding and abetting a fugitive, and obstruction of a federal proceeding. MacGregor has also been charged with perjury. Lelling said “We did not bring this case in response to the public debate over immigration enforcement. There are reasonable arguments on both sides of that debate, but this isn’t a policy seminar, it’s a law enforcement action.”

Lelling received a Bachelor of Arts in literature and rhetoric from Binghamton University in 1991 and graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1994. Lelling clerked for Berry Avant Edenfield of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia. He went on to serve as counsel to the Assistant Attorney General at the United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division and as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia.
