‘I am not a monster’
Twisted molest plea
Accused Wisconsin parade attacker Darrell Brooks once pleaded with a Nevada judge that he was “not some monster” — despite repeatedly violating probation after admitting he molested a teen girl, court records obtained exclusively by The Post show.
Brooks also begged Nevada Judge Robert Perry to cut him a break in 2007, claiming in a handwritten letter that he was raised without a father and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when he was just 12, according to the records.
“I didn’t have a father growing up, so my mom was stuck raising me and my older sister,” Brooks wrote on July 9, 2007. “We were on welfare for most of my childhood in Milwaukee, WI. My father was an alcoholic who was very abusive to my mom.”
Despite penning a sob story to the judge, Brooks repeatedly violated a stayaway order and contacted his underage victim — whom he impregnated, the records show.
He stole a phone card from another inmate while at the Washoe County Jail to obsessively call the teen, and confronted her at a local bus stop just six days after being released from jail, the records show.
Brooks, now 39, eventually skipped out on the case, forfeiting a $10,000 bond and embarking on a criminal career that authorities say culminated with the deadly vehicular attack on the Waukesha Christmas parade Sunday that killed six and injured 62 others.
At his first court appearance this week, prosecutors said Brooks had a lengthy criminal history that included arrests in three states — Wisconsin, Georgia and Nevada.
His first of three Nevada arrests involved the 2006 sexual abuse of the teen, whose name is being withheld by The Post because she is a sex-crime victim.
Brooks was busted in the case on Sept. 28, 2006, and charged with statutory sexual seduction and contributing to the delinquency of a minor after allegedly having sex with the girl at an apartment in Sparks. He pleaded guilty to the first charge and was ordered not to contact the victim, her mother, or grandmother.
When he was released on probation in February 2007, cops saw Brooks approach the teen at her high school.
