The Federal Court's Final Judgment Against Luke Wenke

On October 28th, 2025, Luke Wenke attended the final sentencing hearing in a legal saga that began more than three-and-a-half years earlier. The proceeding revolved around five alleged probation violation charges that Wenke had faced for allegedly contacting his victims in violation of protective orders and contact bans during the summer and fall of 2022.

Wenke had previously pleaded guilty to one of the five violation charges in November 2023, but his sentencing was met with repeated delays as his mental health became the central focus of the case. In April of this year, Judge John L. Sinatra, Jr. ordered Wenke to undergo involuntary treatment for a “mental disease or defect” despite having been deemed competent. Sinatra’s decision came on the heels of numerous evaluations by multiple experts that were carried out at various correctional facilities.

Luke Wenke was released from FMC Devins (a federal medical prison in Massachusetts) on October 7th after reaching the max-out date for his sentence. In other words, he had already served as much as (or more) time than he was facing for the charges against him. Wenke’s release was granted after a Bureau of Prisons experts concluded that he does not meet the criteria for the BOP’s definition of “dangerousness” and therefore did not qualify for continued involuntary treatment.

Luke Wenke: Guilty of 1/5 Violation Charges

As the document below demonstrates, Luke Wenke was convicted of one out of the five probation violation charges he faced (which came following his first probation violation conviction just months earlier). In exchange for his guilty plea, the court dropped the four remaining violation charges, despite the existence of strong evidence pointing toward Wenke’s guilt.

The violation charges all pertained to unwanted letters and other contact that Luke Wenke allegedly sent to me, his cyberstalking victim (“Victim 1”), and the parents of his romantic obsession, Ryan, in violation of protective orders and court-imposed contact bans. Ryan’s parents had a no-contact order of protection against Wenke that was issued out of North Carolina and which Wenke was ordered to abide by as a condition of his federal probation. The judge overseeing Wenke’s case had also ordered Wenke not to have any contact with Victim 1, me, or any of our associates.

Some of the unwanted letters contained my forged name, and some of them were sent from the Cattaraugus County Jail while Wenke was already detained for previous alleged violations. This proves that he just doesn’t know when to stop and that rules and limits will not stop him from harassing and stalking people. The fact that the court let him plea out to one out of five arguably provable charges is a nauseating failure of this country’s trash plea bargaining system.
