Kavanaugh Assassin Attempt Suspect Nicholas Roske Now Identifies as Transgender Woman, Sentencing Expected
Newly surfaced court filings reveal that Nicholas John Roske, who pleaded guilty to Supreme Court Justice“>attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, now identifies as a transgender woman named “Sophie Roske.” Defense attorneys, citing severe mental health struggles including suicidal ideation, indicated Friday they would use female pronouns for their client out of respect, despite no legal name change.
Roske was arrested in June 2022 outside Kavanaugh’s Maryland home, armed with a Glock 17, ammunition, and other tools. Investigators stated Roske planned the attack after the leak of the draft decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, with online searches revealing meticulous planning for assassination methods and avoiding extradition. Prosecutors are demanding a minimum sentence of 30 years, emphasizing the need to strongly condemn attacks on the judiciary.
The revelation about Roske’s gender identity comes amid broader discussions regarding violence and individuals identifying as transgender. Recent events, including an alleged shooting involving a romantic partner transitioning and a deadly church shooting by a trans woman, have intensified calls for authorities to address potential links between certain ideologies and violence. Sentencing for Roske is anticipated later this year.
