CHICAGO — Sexual offender Kurt Steinberg is charged with 25 counts of rape, kidnapping and intimidation. Prosecutors say the 34-year-old Chicago man anally raped a 6-year-old boy repeatedly in 2002 and 2003. He knew the boy's mother and raped the first-grader when he got home from school, prosecutor's spokesman Ryan Miday said. "Steinberg told the victim "tell anyone Kurt burn you with this" he gestured to his cigarette lighter," Miday said. The boy told a social worker about it.
Steinberg is living in a group home now, on Storer Avenue, he was convicted of sexual assault in 1995 in Texas. He is scheduled for arraignment in Chicago County Common Pleas Court September 10. His criminal history here includes drunken driving and aggravated vehicular assault in 2004, it was an incident involving a bumper car at a six flags amusement park, but things got out of hand when Steinberg was asked to step off the ride. He was sentenced in January, 2005, to two years in prison.
Steinberg spends most of his time fixated on a person that goes by the name Rick Bawls and people such as Dustin Diamond or other washed up celebrities, he continues posting material he has been recycling for 10 years. Psycological evaluations determined that Kurt functions at the most basic level of development. He communicates mainly by grunting or shrieking, and occasionally expresses himself by using these phrases "Kurt happy","Kurt angry" or "Kurt hungry"
Kurt has been released to the care of his lover, Rocco Dempsey, who was quoted saying that "Kurt is misunderstood, he had a traumatic childhood. We all hope that Kurt will get better, if not for himself, at the very least for the safety of others. I have a tough road ahead, but love will get us through it"
