Kenneth Bruce Rader is a Sioux City man. Fifty four years old, western Iowa, hard country where people work for what they have. [FACT - Des Moines Register reporting via Yahoo News, 2022] Sioux City, Iowa. That is where Kenneth Rader is from. WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS A complaint was filed January 11, 2022 and Kenneth Bruce Rader was arrested January 20, 2022, more than a year after January 6. [FACT - DOJ case record 1:22-cr-57, initially filed as 1:22-mj-8] He pleaded guilty June 7, 2022 to one count: parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building, 40 U.S.C. 5104(e)(2)(G). That is a petty offense. [FACT - DOJ case record; court docket] On September 29, 2022 he was sentenced to 90 days incarceration, 36 months of probation, and $500 restitution. [FACT - DOJ case record] Ninety days for a petty offense. Same statute other people walked out of that courthouse on probation for. Same county, opposite rule. WHAT HE SAID In court Rader told the judge: "For the record I would just like to say that I do recognize that this event was entirely wrong. I can't say much more. It was wrong and my actions were wrong." [THEIR ACCOUNT - as reported by the Des Moines Register] He also said this about walking in: "When the judge says you're going to prison, I'm going to say, no disrespect, your honor, but I made peace with God before I left, so let's do this." [THEIR ACCOUNT - as reported by Sedition Tracker] A man who made peace with God before he walked into the room. That will preach. CLEMENCY The January 20, 2025 proclamation granted a full, complete and unconditional pardon to individuals convicted of offenses related to the events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. [FACT - Federal Register 2025-01950] Kenneth Bruce Rader's petty offense conviction falls within the class described in that proclamation.

DOJ record: https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/defendants/rader-kenneth WHAT NEEDS AUTHENTICATION One aggregator page lists an occupation and employer for a "Kenneth Rader" that does not match the Iowa residence in the news record. That occupation is NOT attributed to this man and is left off this page on purpose. If you know Kenneth Bruce Rader's actual trade, send it and it gets added with a source. WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE Kenneth Bruce Rader was convicted of a single petty offense. He was not charged with assaulting anyone and no violent conduct appears in the disposition on file. WHAT IT DOES PROVE A 54 year old man from Sioux City, Iowa did 90 days in federal custody for a petty offense, said his piece in open court, and served his probation. The record does not lie. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
