Man Who Attempted to Kill Justice Kavanaugh Now Identifying as a Female in Court Filings [WATCH]

A man who admitted to attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2022 has begun using a female name and pronouns in recent court filings, according to documents made public Friday.

Nicholas Roske, 28, pleaded guilty earlier this year to attempted murder of a U.S. judge and is scheduled to be sentenced on October 3.

In a routine filing ahead of sentencing, Roske was referred to as “Sophie Roske” and identified with the title “Ms.” for the first time in official court records.

A footnote in the document clarified that Nicholas remains Roske’s legal first name.

“Out of respect for Ms. Roske, the balance of this pleading and counsel’s in-court argument will refer to her as Sophie and use female pronouns,” the footnote stated.

The filing did not include information about whether Roske is undergoing medical treatment related to gender transition.

A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson said, “For privacy, safety and security reasons, the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) does not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including health information status or treatments.”

Roske was arrested on June 8, 2022, outside Kavanaugh’s Maryland home.

Prosecutors said he traveled from California carrying a pistol, ammunition, a knife, a crowbar, zip ties, duct tape, and other tactical equipment.

He later called 911 and turned himself in after speaking to his sister and noticing U.S. Marshals stationed outside the residence.

The incident occurred just weeks before the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade.

At the time, protests were taking place outside the homes of several conservative justices.

In their sentencing memorandum, federal prosecutors said Roske’s actions demonstrated intent to interfere with the judiciary for political purposes.

“While the defendant has mental health issues, those issues do not detract from the gravity of the defendant’s crime: the defendant researched and targeted multiple members of the judiciary, and intended to alter the composition of the Supreme Court for ideological reasons,” prosecutors wrote.

Prosecutors also noted Roske’s documented history of mental health struggles dating back a decade, including thoughts of harming family members. The Department of Justice is seeking a 30-year prison sentence.

The case has drawn further attention in light of internal Justice Department discussions about firearm ownership among transgender individuals.

The revelation of Roske’s name and pronoun change follows reports about the background of Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old charged in the September assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Authorities have said Robinson, who was in a relationship with a transgender individual, told acquaintances that he believed Kirk was spreading hate, which contributed to his decision to carry out the killing. That investigation remains ongoing.

Roske’s sentencing is scheduled for early next month in federal court.

If the DOJ’s request is granted, Roske would serve three decades in prison for attempting to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh.
