Man facing U.S. extradition for child sex assault rearrested in Windsor for bail breach

Windsor police say a 74-year-old man facing extradition to the United States for a historic child sexual assault has been arrested in Windsor for breaching his bail conditions. Rodney Douglas Kimbrough is currently sought by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in connection with a decades-old sexual assault of a minor. He is wanted on multiple charges: Rape (x 4) Gross sexual imposition (x 6) Failure to appear Flight to avoid prosecution. On Sept. 11, 2024, Kimbrough was arrested in Windsor on an extradition warrant by the Toronto Police Service Fugitive Squad. He was subsequently released on bail pending an extradition hearing, under strict conditions including house arrest, electronic monitoring, and accompaniment by a surety. A surety is an individual who agrees to supervise an accused person while they are out on bail and ensure compliance with their release conditions. In June 2025, Windsor police bail compliance officers launched an investigation and confirmed the suspect had violated his conditions on multiple occasions. He was arrested on July 2 at a residence in the 1600 block of Martindale Street. Kimbrough is now charged with three counts of failure to comply with a release order. He will remain in custody pending a bail hearing. His surety, a 58-year-old woman, has also been charged with three counts of facilitating a breach of a release order. To report an individual who isn't complying with their release conditions, please contact Windsor Police at 519-255-6700. You can also contact Windsor & Essex County Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 (TIPS) or online at

Sexual assault, other charges stayed against Manitoba First Nation chief

Crown prosecutors have stayed child sex charges against the chief of a Manitoba First Nation. The provincial court says charges of sexual assault, sexual interference and possessing and making child pornography were stayed Friday against Christopher Traverse. Traverse was the leader of Lake St. Martin First Nation in the Interlake region when he was arrested in April 2024. He was accused of forcing an eight-year-old girl into a bathroom in his home, taking photos or her and sexually assaulting her in December 2023. Traverse pleaded not guilty to the charges and maintained his innocence during his trial, which started in March. The Crown's office said in an email that based on new information presented at the trial, it was determined it was no longer appropriate to proceed with the case.

Pewaukee bus driver facing additional charges

A Pewaukee bus driver previously charged with sexual assault of a child now faces additional charges related to a second child. Three additional felony charges were filed in Waukesha County Circuit Court May 27 in an amended criminal complaint against Thomas Felser: one count of first-degree child sexual assault — sexual contact with a child younger than 13, and two counts of sexual misconduct by school staff or volunteer. He was originally charged May 16 with one felony count of repeated sexual assault of a child and three felony counts of sexual misconduct by school staff or volunteer. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He remains in Waukesha County Jail on $350,000 bail, according to online court records. The amended complaint is similar to the original complaint, which said a mom went to the location of her child's bus May 13 after noticing on an app that it had not moved for 10 minutes. She discovered Felser and her child sitting close to each other, and Felser said they were just talking about the child's day. Security footage showed Felser and the child sitting next to each other that day, as well as other days. That child told police Felser touched them in their private areas, the complaint said. The amended complaint came about after police reviewed additional security footage from all of Felser's routes from April 2 to May 23, 2025. They discovered Felser had inappropriately touched another child on multiple occasions, the complaint said, listing incidents on April 3, April 7, April 16, April 17, April 28 and May 6. In a May 23 interview with police, a different child said Felser was playing the "monster" game, which involved going to the back of the bus and hiding. The child said Felser was usually the monster. When police asked whether Felser touched them where he wasn't supposed to, the child said they did not know and that they did not want to tell the officer "because it is 'super weird.'" Go Riteway, the bus company that Felser worked for, conducts full background checks for staff, has security cameras on all buses and provides universal training for staff on child abuse and neglect. It also provides GPS tracking, including the Here Comes the Bus app available to parents. The company declined to comment on Felser's case. Felser's attorney, Craig Powell, could not be immediately reached for comment. In a letter to parents, Pewaukee Schools Superintendent Mike Cady shared a link with community resources, which can be accessed at He declined to comment on the case. Anyone with additional information should call Village of Pewaukee Police at 262-446-5070, Cady said in his letter.
