Nick Fuentes’ victim says ‘no proof’ he completed community service, drops criminal charges for civil suit
The criminal case against Nick Fuentes has been dropped months after he was set to complete a deferred prosecution agreement — but the woman he is accused of battering said he didn’t complete the agreement and is now taking him to civil court instead.
After dropping the criminal case against him fearing it would be strung out even longer than the 18 months that have already passed since the attack, Marla Rose is now suing him in civil court, she told the Sun-Times Thursday.
While Fuentes attended court via Zoom, Rose was given the chance to take him to criminal trial or drop the charges; she chose the latter after filing a civil court case against him last month. But still, she was “sickened” by what she said were unique circumstances provided for the wealthy far-right influencer.
“This is not how your average person who pushes a woman down the stairs and breaks six ribs would be treated,” Rose said. “My understanding for months now was that this was all settled, and for whatever reason, it’s perfectly reasonable for this defendant to have privileges the average person doesn’t. … And it doesn’t seem there’s anything I can do about that so I’ve decided to move on.”
Fuentes’ lawyer, Robert Rascia — who is also representing Avondale restaurant Warlord’s former chef, Trevor Fleming, in a sexual misconduct case — didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
The case stems from a confrontation at Fuentes’ Berwyn home in November 2024, when he pepper-sprayed and pushed Rose down his front steps after she came to his front door after his address was leaked online. He was charged with misdemeanor battery.
The woman went to confront Fuentes after he posted a message on X as the 2024 election results began to favor President Donald Trump. In the post, Fuentes mocked the idea that women have a right to control their own bodies, saying, “Your body, my choice. Forever.”
As part of the deferred agreement reached in October, Fuentes had signed on to do 75 hours of community service, complete an anger management training, apologize to her in court and pay Rose $635 for her phone.
While Rose was paid for her phone, she said she lost count of the extensions he was given by judges throughout the case, just to ultimately have “no proof” he completed the community service or anger management class. She was also “disappointed” after being handed an apology letter from Fuentes, which she said likely was written by AI. Rose added she would not have agreed to the deal if she’d known he wouldn’t have to apologize in person.
A motion filed by an attorney working on Rose’s behalf last week argued Fuentes “failed to complete the community service in time” and yet he was seen partying in other states earlier this year.
In January, Fuentes was captured on video partying with far-right influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate, Clavicular, Sneako and others while listening to Kanye West’s track “Heil Hitler.” Video of this circulated online after being posted by the influencers, and the club apologized for playing the “deeply offensive and unacceptable” song.

“There was some small hope I had that in doing service for others he might become a more compassionate person,” Rose said.
“To see the news of him flying off to Miami to dance with the manosphere bros to a song about annihilating Jewish people — it’s hard to put into words, other than to say it reminds me of my disappointment with the Cook County criminal justice system,” Rose, who is Jewish, added.
Rose said prosecutors were concerned what a trial would do to her given the “many, many” death threats she and her family received in the wake of the case.
A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday on the civil case, in which she seeks $10,000 from Fuentes for emotional and physical damages, as well as to cover the cost of the security system she said her family purchased following the threats.
“What I want, ultimately, is for his Groypers and his hundreds of thousands of followers to know there are consequences to actions,” she said. “I don’t want them to think you can not be held accountable.”
