About Grimy Times

America’s Most Complete Federal Crime Database

Grimy Times is the most comprehensive federal crime news database in the United States — tracking every indictment, conviction, guilty plea, and sentencing across all 94 U.S. federal judicial districts, in all 50 states plus Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam.

Our archive contains hundreds of thousands of federal criminal cases sourced directly from official U.S. Department of Justice press releases — dating back years and updated daily as new cases are prosecuted.

What We Cover

Why Grimy Times?

Most crime news covers local police blotters. We cover federal prosecutions — the big fish. The cartels. The corrupt officials. The fraudsters who stole millions. The traffickers. The cases that actually move the needle. If the feds charged it, we covered it.

Our database spans all 50 states, is searchable by defendant name, crime type, state, and federal district — and grows every day as new cases are prosecuted across America.
