To read Luke Wenke’s handwritten complaint, scroll to the bottom of this page.
After years of making seemingly baseless threats to sue numerous people and entities with no evidence of any meaningful action being taken, Luke Wenke has attempted to file a federal lawsuit against me from behind bars at the Monroe County Jail in Rochester, New York, where he’s currently on remand for allegedly cyberstalking the federal judge who oversaw his previous criminal case.
The handwritten complaint, which was filed in the Western District of New York on January 30th, lists me and an FBI agent who has long been involved in the investigations against Wenke as defendants. I’m not associated with the FBI agent (or the government) in any way, yet Wenke listed “federal probation” as my employer. The complaint also inaccurately classifies me as a “typist” and contains the home address of a family member of mine who has never even met Luke Wenke.
The form that Wenke filled out appears to be designed for filing civil rights violation complaints against federal officials, and in it, he erroneously identifies me as such. He goes on to falsely claim that I had “immediate access” to the emails he barraged the court with after his previous case concluded in late October.
Additional False Allegations in Luke Wenke’s Lawsuit:
False Allegation #1: I’m conspiring with the FBI.
In his complaint, Luke Wenke states that I’m “working with” the FBI agent he listed as my co-defendant to “falsely manipulate an FBI Discovery” against him “containing social media posts and emails that were never even sent.”
I’m not associated with the FBI (or any government agency) in any way, nor do I want to be. Unlike Luke Wenke, I don’t hate law enforcement, but I don’t feel they’ve been particularly helpful toward me when it comes to Wenke’s stalking. Also unlike Wenke, I don’t meddle with the authorities as a pastime; as a general rule, the less interaction with them, the better.
False Allegation #2: People helped me build and maintain this website.
Based on the way he talks about my website, Luke Wenke seems to think this was an enormous, full-time undertaking that occupies the majority of my waking life. This is not the case, but it would perhaps explain why he thinks it took more than one person to build it (and keep it running).
Luke Wenke also seems to think that his victims and the people involved in his legal case are entangled in an intricate, large-scale conspiracy against him. But it’s simply not true. This website is an independent side project that I embarked upon because I think people deserve to know about this perpetual menace who dedicates himself to ruining lives. I also wanted to tell my story after years of languishing in silence, shame, and despair.
False Allegation #3: I have insider access to Luke Wenke’s legal records.
On many occasions, Luke Wenke has falsely claimed that I received his FBI discovery paperwork shortly after his arrest and before his family saw it. I’ve never seen Luke Wenke’s discovery documents. Additionally, I do not have access to any sealed or private records like Luke Wenke seems to believe. Anyone can access the same records that I share on this website via the government-run PACER.gov federal records database.
“Cornered in the Family Dollar Parking Lot”
Luke Wenke described his most recent arrest in the complaint, stating:
“December 17th, 2025 I was cornered in the Salamanca Family Dollar parking lot by 3 FBI agents … who pointed guns at me and broke my blood vessels with Monroe County Jail medical records there to show the medication I had afterwards.”
The next section of the document states:
“A court ordered arrangement stating that all future arrest attempts against me that have anything to do with electronic communications should come with an initial peaceful approach to me from federal officers to talk it out first with no arrest involved since past examples have proven they currently have no respect my free speech rights which they take out of context and past examples have shown they arrest me (and others) over emails and social media posts not even from me at all. NY state troopers don’t charge at someone and violently arrest them the minute they have an email or social media post on paper. My situation shows that I need a court ordered arrangement with federal officers stating their requirement to peacefully approach me and speak to me first without arresting me.”
Luke Wenke filed the lawsuit after failing to reach me by other means.
About a month ago, a family member (the same one whose address is listed in the lawsuit complaint) received a slip addressed to me about picking up some certified mail at the post office. I recognized the address as belonging to Wenke’s mother, who is well aware that I want zero contact with her or her son. I called the post office and told them I don’t want the letter, and they agreed not to make any further delivery attempts.
Roughly two weeks before that, I had blocked Luke Wenke’s calls from jail. Like his mother, Wenke knows I want zero contact, but has consistently refused to respect these wishes for three years. He began calling me from jail a few days after his arrest on December 17th, and he tried to call me over a dozen times before I figured out how to block the calls. I only accepted one of the calls, so that there would be recorded evidence of me telling him to leave me alone. (Of course, in keeping with his deliberate disregard for boundaries, he instantly tried calling again the moment I hung up the phone.)
Simply put, I knew that Luke Wenke wasn’t going to stop trying to contact me after I blocked his jail calls and rejected his mother’s mail. He’s been trying to reach me for years (including long before this website existed) despite knowing I want to be left alone. And he’s never been punished for contacting me against my wishes, even in the presence of a court-imposed ban prohibiting him from such as a condition of his probation, so why would he stop?
This latest attempt to harass me through the legal system (and it’s not his first) should serve as an indicator to the contrary for those who’ve suggested that Wenke has a limit and would stop short of resorting to more drastic or extreme measures. We’re talking about a guy who has driven hundreds of miles to stalk victims in other states. If I were to hazard a guess, I’d say Wenke is far from his threshold in terms of the lengths he’s willing to go to force his presence in someone’s life.
It would be a disservice for the court to even entertain such deranged and baseless allegations against me, but I lost faith in the system a long time ago, so we’ll see what happens. As things currently stand, it seems like his “right” to stalk and harass people matters more to the powers that be than my right to live a life free of those things.

“Hello,
“Thank you for taking the time to review my Pro Se court paper submission. The sergeant here told me to have Kelly Newton from commissary sign the papers proving the $405 you need is there, and that she did. Kelly included other paperwork for you I am sending in this fifth envelope. My mother Janet McCaul of Salamanca NY called you at … a few weeks ago. There is a $250 per 10 days maximum submission on our accounts here, otherwise I would have had these filed sooner. I can’t call 585-613-4000, your phone number, from the jail phones otherwise I would have. Hopefully I filled everything out correctly.
“I will not ramble too much, but I feel as though a brief hello is needed. I was Cattaraugus County Libertarian Chairman before Covid, and my maternal grandmother was Carrollton NY Justice of the Peace Carolyn Giardini. Families of judges should not be facing judges in their own country unless there’s a major sociology issue taking place. If you do your research, you may find that the federal judge who is related to Buffalo’s Peter Gerace of Pharaoh’s likely agrees. Wenke v. Wenke was overturned by the NY Supreme Court late 1995, as it was my own relatives laying the foundation for NY state grandparents’ rights. I have an attorney out in Massachusetts waiting to be paid to take all of my circumstances to the US Supreme Court, and his payment should come his way in no more than a few months. The 2nd Circuit of US Appeals is also aware of my circumstances.
“All of my claims in the Pro Se application are true, and I hope…”

“…that the US Marshals can serve papers to Andrew and Katie as soon as possible. The Robert H Jackson US Courthouse cannot play hot potato with me forever the way they recently did. Victoria Bahl and Karen Francati agree.
“The $405 is on my account here at Monroe County Jail and I will be looking everyday to see when you subtract it for your court fee needs. Her name is Janet McCaul (my mother who called you and helped with the finances) and her number is [number]. She is with Chris Slocum, he is an employee of Casa Trinity halfway house outside Olean NY, and he can provide any in person help that may be needed as this moves along.
“Thank you for the help,
“-Luke Wenke”
