Records reveal Joseph Rosenbaum, who was shot in the head and killed by Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha last week, molested five boys.
The Kenosha Reporter previously reported on Rosenbaum's criminal record.
Newly revealed records contain graphic descriptions of sexual abuse for which Rosenbaum was convicted.
“Per documents from the Superior Court of Arizona in Pima County, the crimes for which Kyle Rittenhouse's 1st attacker, Joseph Don Rosenbaum, was imprisoned and made to register as a sex offender involved the molestation and rape of five separate boys between the ages of 9 and 11,” Trevor Sutcliffe tweeted.
Rosenbaum can be seen chasing Rittenhouse on footage taken just prior to the shooting and throwing a molotov cocktail at him.
Those on the left were quick to condemn Rittenhouse, who is facing murder charges for the deaths of Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and the non-fatal shooting of Gaige Grosskreutz.
All three had criminal records.
Robert Barnes, a civil rights attorney, said he believes Rittenhouse’s actions were consistent with “consistent within his rights of self defense.”
