The Luke Wenke Files

On October 4th, 2023, Luke Wenke was arrested for allegedly violating federal probation. He had recently been found guilty of one previous violation charge, but was accused of continuing to contact his victims in violation of state-issued protective orders and federally-imposed contact bans.

This time around, Wenke was charged with five violations, the nature of which are detailed in the document below. Every charge, including the one he had already been convicted of, was for contacting victims he had been ordered to have zero contact with.

Wenke’s first charge was for allegedly mailing a letter to his original cyberstalking victim, the Minnesota attorney, in September of 2023. The letter was signed in my name (in other words, forged). Wenke was banned from contacting the victim as a condition of his federal supervised release.

Wenke’s second violation charge was for mailing unwanted correspondence to the family of his romantic obsession, Ryan, including a letter signed in my name (in other words, a forged document). The family had obtained a state-issued no-contact order of protection against Wenke, and Wenke was requireder to abide by all orders of protection as a condition of his federal probation.

The third charge pertains to unwanted contact I received from Luke Wenke in August 2023. As I struggled to obtain a state-issued order of protection due to New York’s pathetically archaic anti-stalking laws, Wenke’s probation officer asked the judge to impose a condition banning Wenke from contacting me as a condition of his probation. The judge granted the request, but the condition is no longer in effect.

Charges #4 and 5 were for additional unwanted communications that Ryan’s family had received from Luke Wenke.

The outcome of these charges exemplifies how Luke Wenke’s case makes a total mockery of the “justice” system.

Luke Wenke pleaded guilty to just one of the aforementioned charges, and the remaining four were dropped despite ample evidence pointing toward his guilt, including physical letters and unwanted text messages.

In addition to the violation charges, the document below describes ongoing concerns relating to Luke Wenke’s behavior on social media. Despite the apparent escalation of Wenke’s anger, these concerns were brushed to the wayside on numerous occasions (just my opinion, of course). And instead of opting for accountability by punishing Luke Wenke properly, the authorities seemed to believe that he would become compliant with mental health treatment, even though he went into it kicking and screaming and had only shown what’s known as “surface compliance” throughout the course of his mandated care thus far.

In other words, Wenke attended his required treatment sessions, so he was technically fulfilling his obligation to the court. But the probation personnel overseeing his case seemed to believe that he wasn’t truly working the program, given his constant mockery of it on social media (along with his blatant denial of mental illness and statements that he would refuse medication).

Oh, and Luke Wenke was never charged for forging my name and impersonating me in his letters to his other victims, or for impersonating his other victims in his letters to me.
