Kenosha County DA’s Office Declines All Criminal Charges Against Mathewson after Judge’s Stalking Complaint, Cites Free Speech and Constitutionally Protected News Reporting
“The dignity of a wise and righteous judge needs not the artificial safeguarding which is a heritage of the old days when if dissent found a tongue the public executioner cut it out. The Bench will be sufficiently respected when it is no longer a place where dullards dream and rogues rob . . . That the corrupt practices in our courts of law be uncovered to public view, whenever that is possible, by . . . the press.”— Ambrose Bierce KENOSHA, Wis. — The Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office has declined every criminal charge referred against Kenosha County Eye editor Kevin Mathewson following an extraordinary Wisconsin State Capitol Police investigation prompted by complaints from Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Chad Kerkman (D).

Daybreak Church Pastor Responds To KCE Report, Confirms Accused Elder Worked With Children And Church Knew Of Arrest Tuesday
KENOSHA, Wis. — Daybreak Church founder and lead pastor Brit Windel issued a lengthy public response Thursday morning to Kenosha County Eye’s reporting about Dale Robert Nixon, 43, disputing KCE’s description of Nixon as a youth pastor and criticizing KCE’s reporting. But Windel’s own statement confirms Nixon was a five-year church elder who worked with children, that church leadership knew of his arrest Tuesday and knew what Windel called the “horrific details” of the case. Nixon was arrested Tuesday by Kenosha Police Department Sensitive Crimes detectives. Jail records list felony allegations of incest with a child related by blood or adoption and repeated sexual assault of the same child involving at least three alleged violations of first-degree sexual assault. Windel accused KCE of making “inaccurate and misleading” claims and took

Daybreak did not provide a response directly to KCE before publication and instead addressed KCE’s reporting in a public Facebook post Thursday morning.

KUSD Board Spends $26,000 To Begin Process Toward Yet Another Referendum After Voters Rejected $115 Million Tax Hike
KENOSHA, Wis. — The Kenosha Unified School District Board of Education voted Tuesday to spend $26,000 on professional polling as it begins exploring yet another operating referendum after voters rejected the district’s previous $115 million request. Board members Bob Tierney and Sabrina Landry opposed the expenditure, while Board President Carl Bryan, Rebecca Stevens, Todd Price, Robin Cullen and Mary Modder voted to move forward. The previous referendum sought $23 million per year for five years, or $115 million total. Despite that rejection, the district is now formally exploring whether to pursue another referendum in April 2027. District documents say the new polling could help determine whether to pursue a referendum, how much money to request and what might be included. Superintendent Jeffrey Weiss and his administration recommended hiring Morris Leatherman
KUSD Board Sees Its Shadow: Two More Years Of Weiss Despite Bipartisan Opposition
KENOSHA, Wis. — The Kenosha Unified School Board voted Tuesday night to give Superintendent Jeffrey Weiss another two years on the job, with an option for a third, despite pointed bipartisan opposition from board members, parents and community members. Weiss has presided over severe financial problems, seven school closures, a failed $115 million referendum and repeated controversies involving sexual misconduct and other alleged employee misconduct. Critics questioned whether Weiss has demonstrated the leadership and competence necessary to continue running one of Wisconsin’s largest school districts. The opposition crossed political lines. Prominent local Democrat and School Board member Sabrina Landry voted against Weiss’s extension, while Republican Assembly candidate Valerie Kretchmer publicly urged the board to reject it. Board member Bob Tierney also voted no, while Doviel Hill, Amanda Meyer, Arik Espinoza
Day After Kenosha County Court Commissioner Daniel “Catch & Release” Kellum Dismissed 25-Year Child-Enticement Felony, Prosecutors Charge Wilmot Volunteer With New Felony Involving Same 13-Year-Old
Austin Carl Scaletta, 19, of Twin Lakes(Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office) SALEM LAKES, Wis. — Just one day after Kenosha County Court Commissioner Daniel “Catch & Release” Kellum dismissed a Class D child-enticement felony carrying up to 25 years in prison against Austin Carl Scaletta, 19, of Twin Lakes, prosecutors charged Scaletta Wednesday with a new felony involving the same 13-year-old girl. The new charge, sexual misconduct by school staff or volunteer, carries only 3½ years in prison. Scaletta is now facing a combined maximum of 235½ years of imprisonment across his two remaining cases. Had Kellum not dismissed the child-enticement charge Tuesday, Scaletta’s total potential exposure would be 260½ years.

Woman Charged After Animals Found Living In Feces, Mold And Maggot-Filled Squalor Allegedly Caught With Animals The Very Next Day; “Catch & Release” Kellum Gives Her No-Cash Bail Again
Lauren J. Madsen, 38, of Somers(Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office) SOMERS, Wis. — Lauren J. Madsen, 38, of Somers, allegedly lasted just one day before violating Court Commissioner Daniel “Catch & Release” Kellum’s order that she have no contact with animals after being charged in a shocking animal-neglect case involving feces, mold and maggot-filled squalor. Kellum apparently thought no-cash bail and a court order would be enough to keep Madsen compliant. After she was allegedly caught back at the property with three cats at her feet and tending to horses, most people with a law degree might think it was time to ramp up the bail. Kellum went the other direction Wednesday, keeping Madsen on no-cash bail in both cases. Lauren J. Madsen, 38, of Somers(Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office) Condition Inside

Christopher R. Frederick, 34, of Kenosha(Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office) KENOSHA, Wis. — Christopher R. Frederick, 34, of Kenosha, was charged Wednesday with disorderly conduct as a domestic abuse repeater after prosecutors say he screamed profanities at his girlfriend, called her degrading names, slammed things around her home and frightened her enough that she called police. Frederick was already out on felony bail in another domestic abuse case and allegedly called the woman more than 30 times later that same day despite his bail conditions. Prosecutors initially charged him with three counts of felony bail jumping as a repeater, but Kenosha County Court Commissioner Daniel “Catch & Release” Kellum dismissed one of those felony counts Wednesday and set Frederick’s bail at only $500 cash. Frederick still faces more than 18 years

Kenosha Man Accused Of Felony For Battering Elderly Mother May Have Committed Another Felony With Google Copyright Claim Over KCE Photos
KENOSHA, Wis. — Michael William Joseph Sindelar, 31, formerly of Kenosha, was charged last year with felony physical abuse of an elder person after police said he punched his elderly mother in the head. Sindelar ultimately pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery and received 18 months of probation with no jail by liberal activist judge Jodi Meier (D). When Kenosha County Eye covered Sindelar’s case, KCE Editor Kevin Mathewson personally photographed him in court. KCE also obtained Sindelar’s booking photograph from the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office. Both photographs were used in the story. More than a year later, on August 25, 2026, Sindelar demanded that KCE remove the article, writing, “you have 1 day to remove this article, my photos and videos are protected by dmca and any unauthorized use of
In Wisconsin, a 65-Year-Old Man Can Be Charged With a Felony for Having Sex With a 16-Year-Old Girl — But If the Lights Are Off, It’s Probably a Misdemeanor
Note: Explicit Descriptions Below State of Wisconsin — Wisconsin’s criminal code contains a gap so absurd that it sounds invented. It isn’t. It’s sitting in black and white in Chapter 948 of the Wisconsin Statutes, and as far as this publication can tell, no one in Madison has ever bothered to close it. Here is the plain-English version. Under Wis. Stat. § 948.09, an adult who has consensual sexual intercourse with a 16- or 17-year-old — someone below the state’s effective age of consent but above the threshold where the law treats the conduct as child sexual assault — is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. Maximum penalty: nine months in jail, a $10,000 fine. No mandatory sex offender registration. That’s the law as written, and it applies whether the
Kenosha County Court Commissioner Daniel “Catch & Release” Kellum Dismisses Child-Enticement Case Against 19-Year-Old Accused Of Trying To Have Sex With 13-Year-Old
Austin Carl Scaletta, 19, of Twin Lakes(Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office) SALEM LAKES, Wis. — Kenosha County Court Commissioner Daniel “Catch & Release” Kellum dismissed a Class D felony child-enticement case Tuesday against Austin Carl Scaletta, 19, of Twin Lakes, who prosecutors alleged was trying to have sex with a 13-year-old girl. According to information obtained confidentially by KCE from a Kenosha County courthouse insider, Kellum dismissed the charge because he believed the alleged enticement had to actually be completed. Wisconsin’s child-enticement statute, however, expressly includes an attempt to cause a child to enter a vehicle, building, room or secluded place for an unlawful sexual purpose. We know that Kellum is sympathetic to violent criminals and repeat OWI convict, but this suggests that he may be sympathetic to alleged sex offenders.
Wisconsin Examiner Calls Itself “Nonpartisan.” Its Deputy Editor Erik Gunn’s Own Words Tell A Different Story : Opinion
KENOSHA, Wis. — Wisconsin Examiner Deputy Editor Erik Gunn (D) is apparently working on another story involving me. I don’t know what the story is, what supposed news event prompted it, or why Gunn remains so interested in me. I asked him. He wouldn’t tell me. On Tuesday, Gunn told me that neither he nor his editor would provide any comment for this story. That’s their right. It’s also my right to take a closer look at the journalist who is taking a closer look at me. And after reviewing Gunn’s public social-media activity and years of Wisconsin Examiner coverage, I have reached a pretty simple conclusion: Erik Gunn is a liberal partisan hack activist pretending to be a neutral journalist while working for a publication that advertises itself as
