ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND
Last night I told readers I was going on a road trip to cover a big story — but I didn’t tell you how big it was going to be:
Brett Kimberlin, the convicted bomber-turned progressive activist, had sex with his wife when she was only 15, according to charges filed Monday in Maryland. A native of Ukraine who is now estranged from her husband and seeking a divorce, 32-year-old Tetyana Kimberlin says she had sex with Kimberlin multiple times during her 1996 visit to the United States, before she turned 16, the legal age of consent in Maryland. . . .
At the time of the alleged offense, Kimberlin was on parole from federal prison for a 1978 bombing spree that terrorized the Indianapolis suburb of Speedway. . . .
In accusing Kimberlin of a third-degree sex offense, Tetyana says she met him when she was 14 and living in Ukraine, where Kimberlin traveled on business after his 1993 parole. In charges filed Monday with the Montgomery County District Court, Tetyana says she was 15 when she arrived in Maryland in September 1996 and that Kimberlin, who was 42 at the time, had sexual intercourse with her repeatedly before her 16th birthday in November of that year. . . .
[A]ccording to the charges filed Monday, Kimberlin “enticed me to come to Maryland so I could be his sex partner and bride,” Tetyana Kimberlin wrote. “Brett Kimberlin had sex with me every single day between the day I arrived and the day I turned sixteen, on Nov. 16, 1996.” Tetyana wrote that her cousin, who was 12 at the time, “also met Brett Kimberlin in Ukraine and coae to live with him … shortly before I did. On at least one occasion, I saw him attempt to seduce her.” . . .
Please read the whole thing at Viral Read.
You’ll also want to check John Hoge’s coverage of the story. Kimberlin has provided forged Ukrainian documents to claim Tetyana was two years older. But if you know the story of Brett Kimberlin, you know that forging documents was how he got caught for the Speedway bombings.
If you contributed to the Shoe Leather Fund for this road trip, I hope you feel like you got your money’s worth.
And if you haven’t contributed yet, remember that the the Five Most Important Words in the English Language are still: Hit the freaking tip jar.
UPDATE: Just a little reminder about Brett Kimberlin’s past:
Alas, the girl’s grandmother was shot to death and, while police were investigating that murder, the Indiana town was struck by a series of bombings.
“Kimberlin seemed to be the only one with a possible motive — to distract police attention from the Scyphers murder and delay or halt their quiet investigation of him.”
— R. Joseph Gelarden, Indianapolis Star, “Kimberlin case a maze of murder, deceit,” Oct. 18, 1981
If Brett Kimberlin was “the only one with a possible motive,” it’s interesting how he was eventually caught: On Sept. 20, 1978, wearing a fake uniform, Kimberlin was arrested at a print shop where he was attempting to get phony military identification — a federal crime. And when the FBI searched Kimberlin’s car, they found the same kind of blue-and-white timers that had been used to detonate the bombs.
Fake uniform, fake IDs, real evil.

I wonder if Barbra Streisand and the Tides Foundation are available to comment on their funding of convicted bomber, perjurer and forger BK. it seems like those crimes did not bother them. How do they feel about funding an accused pedophile?
Given his past I can’t say I’m surprised. I wonder if these new revelations will have any effect on how Bill Schmalfeldt looks at his friend. We know he over looked the bombings, the fact that a man lost his life and Kimberlin was found to be responsible, and that Kimberlin has never made any restitution. Will this be the one thing that Schmalfeldt can’t overlook? Or will his continue to support his good friend?
They are also supporters of Roman Polaski, so it appears that they have zero morals, even when pedophilia is involved …

If Schmalfeldt found out Brett Kimberlin were Satan himself he’d say Kimberlin was still just misunderstood and cry for sympathy for the devil. Just so he could say he was right.
I wonder what the DOB is on the marriage license application for Tetyana?

Are his daughters safe? This is really sick and scary!
Tides also administers another Kimberlin funder – The Threshold Foundation, iirc. There’s some really interesting intersections, and I wonder, along with you, what the people on these boards would think, were they asked.
What’s the Statute of Limitations on this?
Plus; can someone tell me how the f a parolee ex-felon bomber and dope dealer was allowed to travel to the Ukraine?
This smacks more and more that for some period of time Kimberlin was a snitch for the Feds and has been using that association to continue his misdeeds.
But like the IRS, a scorned woman will get you every time.
Polanski.
And I agree.
Even more, it shows how aan unrepentant criminal sinks farther and farther into evil as his soul slowly dies from the hatred and festering evil places him farther and farther from Christ’s salvation. Poor sick, evil bastard! I feel less empathy for him than I do a neglected animal for the animal is not at fault and Brett’s misfortunes are due to his own conscious actions, his chosen course of conduct.

I am sure that topic is the crux of the case before the court today.

To my understanding…there is no statute of limitations on this type of offense.
He will continue to support him. Being incorrect is not an option.
RSM – your update is evidence that all of you should take precautions regarding your safety.

My belief is that the license was forged to make her two years older — to show her as 18 instead of 16 — to evade Maryland’s parental consent requirement for marriage under 18. If that is true, then their marriage was invalid, Furthermore, if Kimberlin supplied forged documents for such purposes — including international travel while she was still under 18 — this would expose him to further prosecution, perhaps on federal charges.
But for some strange reason, nobody at the FBI seems to care about investigating Brett Kimberlin.
They’ll remain silent. It’s more herd-think. One stray cow falls off a cliff or is otherwise culled, what do the rest do? They take no notice. Same principal here: a celebrated liberal crosses a red enough line that can’t be spun, the majority of the Leftist herd shrugs and says, “Brett who? Never heard of him.” Same principle as cows.
I looked it up. No SOL on felony sexual offenses in Maryland.
I’m sure the Hollywood types are fine with this kind of behavior. To quote Whoopi, it’s not “rape rape.” You can’t do anything immoral if you have no morals to begin with.
DOJ has a big program on human trafficking, and some of Tetyana’s allegations implicate anti human trafficking laws. This is a high profile program that they tout quite a bit. Someone could always ask them for comment or bring this case to their attention. How many more Tetyana’s are there out there? There was a big underage prostitution bust by the FBI over the weekend, by the way. This is the DOJ contact page with info: http://www.state.gov/j/tip/id/index.htm
Geez, How fast can the put this guy away? —> SHOCKING ALLEGATIONS IN KIMBERLIN V. KIMBERLIN http://t.co/IG1ZYWht0d
I understand – to clarify, Kimberlin et al remain useful only as long as they remain acceptable and low profile.
I wonder what his business was in the Ukraine aside from scurrying away with little girls?
More confirmation that Brett Kimberlin’s sociopathic personality leads him into greater and greater risk taking to reinforce these very evil aspects of his personality.
Schmalfeldt is wishing he had the fortitude to commit the same crimes as BK.
A perjuring drug dealing domestic terrorist might also have sex with underaged girls? Imagine. http://t.co/nWidBPVw53
