Reddit contains disturbing content from the suspect, 26 years old, who is charged with assassinating Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. He went by the name of Nicholas John Roske, but the Reddit posts show that now he identifies as a “male-to-female,” “trans gamer girl” named “Sophie.”
Roske comes from Simi valley, California. On June 8, he was arrested near Kavanaugh’s Maryland home. The criminal complaint states that the suspect was carrying a backpack and a bag containing a knife and a pistol, Glock 17 along with 2 magazines and ammunition. He also had pepper spray, zip tie, screwdriver and crowbar.
The “reasoning” Roske gave for being in front of Kavanaugh’s home with all those items was due to the then-potential overturning of Roe v. Wade. An FBI application for a search warrant said Roske’s Reddit, Discord, and Google accounts showed evidence of Roske threatening to assassinate a Supreme Court Justice and murder a United States judge.
Roske wrote on Reddit, February 22nd 2021:
Warning! This posting may contain explicit content.
“I am looking for a Daddy to control my sexual life … Give me specifics tasks to do while in locked up and/or daily tasks. This could be the number of times that I need to edge myself, how often I ride a dildo or watching porn. Message me if you want me as your sexual toy to frustrate, humiliate, and control.”
In other posts that were obtained, he called himself “Sophie” and characterized himself as “MtF,” which means male-to-female, and “F4F,” which means female seeking female.
According to the FBI, Roske described himself as a “trans gamer girl” and “sissy slave.”
Roske also wrote in another blog post:
“If abortion were mandatory for pregnant women, no new people would be born, and thus no new people would experience suffering. If no new people are born, humanity will end and thus human suffering will end … I am aware how radical this view is, but I do hold it sincerely.”
Roske was also found to have wanted the assassination of at least three Supreme Court justices by an FBI search warrant. He wrote:
“Yeah but I could get at least one, which would change the votes for decades to come, and I am shooting for 3 all of the major decisions for the past 10 years have been along party lines so if there are more liberal than conservative judges, they will have the power.”
Roske was not convicted in June of attempted murder. An August provisional trial date has been set.
