Liberal Kenosha Judge Deals Devastating Blow To Guardians Of The Children, Declares Mistrial In Child Sexual Assault Case: Family Outraged, Juror Disputes Claims Of Intimidation
KENOSHA, Wis. — Guardians of the Children is a nonprofit motorcycle organization whose mission is to recognize and respond to child abuse, educate the public, provide strength and stability to families in crisis, and give abused children the courage, support and protection they desperately need. Founded in San Antonio, Texas, in 2006, the organization has spent 20 years helping vulnerable children confront some of the most frightening experiences of their lives, including testifying in court against their alleged abusers. On Wednesday morning, liberal Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Jason Rossell (D) dealt a devastating blow to the beloved organization when he declared a mistrial in the prosecution of Micah Jonathan Dillon, 19, of Salem, who is accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting his 9-year-old nephew.

Drug-Using Therapist Niccolai Claims Wisconsin ‘Closed The Case’ On Complaints Against Her License To Practice Therapy; State Says Complaints Remain Open
KENOSHA, Wis. — Nearly two years after a community member filed a licensing complaint that advanced into a formal investigation, the State of Wisconsin says complaints against drug-using therapist Jacqueline P. Niccolai, 39, of Kenosha, remain open. That undercuts the impression she gave her cult followers Monday when she announced that the state had “CLOSED THE CASE.” I know some Kenosha County Eye readers are tired of the back-and-forth involving Niccolai. Frankly, so am I, but it is so incredibly difficult to watch false information about me circulate without putting the documents in front of readers. That’s why I sued her for defamation. Niccolai’s November 2 Facebook post claimed I encouraged people to file complaints against her license in an effort to destroy her career. That is false. I never

Mistrial Looms In Child Sexual Assault Case After Guardians Of The Children Escort Alleged Victim Into Courtroom; Judge Sends Jury Home
KENOSHA, Wis. — A dramatic development Tuesday afternoon threatened to derail the child sexual assault trial of Micah Jonathan Dillon, 19, of Salem, Wisconsin, after several members of the Guardians of the Children motorcycle organization entered a Kenosha County courtroom alongside the alleged victim, prompting defense counsel to demand a mistrial. Judge Jason Rossell (D) expressed concern about the circumstances, dismissed the jury for the remainder of the day, and announced that he would carefully consider whether the incident warranted terminating the trial.

Former Kenosha County Deputy Ryan Romano Dies At 45; Police Investigating Possible Overdose
KENOSHA, Wis. — Ryan Joseph Romano, 45, of Kenosha, a former Kenosha County sheriff’s deputy, died Friday morning, October 30.

Romano was prescribed painkillers following the injury. His addiction became progressively worse, and

Liberal Kenosha Alderman Anthony Kennedy Gets Restraining Order Against Sexual-Misconduct Accuser; Attorney Questions Filing
KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha Alderman Anthony Kennedy (D), 59, of Kenosha, has obtained a temporary harassment restraining order against Whitney Cabal after she publicly accused him of seeking sexual favors in connection with financial assistance. Kenosha County Court Commissioner Daniel “Catch & Release” Kellum signed the order, which follows a petition alleging that Cabal accused Kennedy of soliciting prostitution, called him a sexual predator, and threatened his two adult daughters. The case is a significant development following KCE’s reporting on Cabal’s allegations and the text-message screenshots she published online. A civil attorney consulted by KCE questioned whether the limited allegations in the reviewed documents justified issuing the temporary order, while acknowledging that additional material could exist elsewhere in the record. Kennedy filed the case under the name “Anthony Kennedy vs.
Carthage Keeps Advisor Accused Of Touching 15-Year-Old’s Upper Chest, Abdomen And Lower Back — Permanently Barred From Applying For Another Wisconsin Educator License
KENOSHA, Wis. — According to DPI records just obtained by Kenosha County Eye, Carthage College advisor Conner David Olsen was accused of touching a 15-year-old female student’s upper chest, abdomen and lower back.

Olsen, who resigned from Westosha Central High School in lieu of termination in April 2025, denies wrongdoing, and his surrender agreement expressly states that it does not constitute an admission. Kenosha County Eye reported Olsen’s license surrender on June 6,
