In the following letter to the Honorable John L. Sinatra, Jr., Luke Wenke expresses his support for the Abughanems, who were convicted last year of the beating and kidnapping of a female relative. Wenke had been detained at the Orleans County Jail with 32-year-old Waleed Abughanem, and has frequently mentioned Waleed’s father, Khaled, in his letters to the court.
During the trial of 52-year-old Khaled and another one of his sons, 28-year-old Adham Abughanem (33-year-old Waleed took a plea deal), the victim testified that Khaled had threatened to kill her and bury her in the family’s backyard if she refused to enter an arranged marriage. Feeling like she had no other choice, the young woman withdrew from her studies at the University of Buffalo and quickly became a shut-him while spending nearly every moment of her life under the supervision of male family members.
The victim told the court that when she said she’d rather die than enter a forced marriage, Khaled beat her until she thought she really was going to die. She fled to Guadalajara, with her partner, but was flown back to New York by Khaled and Adham, who then force the woman to fly to Yemen.
The victim was essentially trapped in Yemen, where unmarried women are not allowed to travel alone without family members’ permission. Sixteenn months later, she finally slipped away long enough to call the FBI with a phone that had been smuggled to her by a nonprofit organisation that helps people escape forced marriages.
The case garnered widespread attention throughout Western New York, and the victim was praised for her bravery. Waleed Abughanem was sentenced to three years in federal prison, while Khaled and Adham appear to be awaiting sentencing.
The fact that Luke Wenke thinks the Abughanems are innocent is beyond abhorrent, especially since they’ve all been convicted. But he clearly enjoys hanging out with fellow inmates who are accused of harming women and children, and he seems disturbingly tolerant of their alleged crimes.

USA v. Luke Wenke – Document #174Luke Wenke #174 – Page 1
UPPER MARGIN: “[Illegible] copyright: Mach speed public safety drones, video call technology for every last court in America for interstate subpoenas = the replacement to this infraction. Since conspiracy charges are allegedly going away thanks to President Sherman Klump or whatever his name is; threats charges too please. This handwriting liable to be forged from a new website out there liable to be sued soon.
LEFT MARGIN: Are [name] of the [county] Libertarian Party and former [county] Libertarian Vice Chair [name] forging my handwriting and smudging my fingerprints on letters one of them is writing to snitch on each other about this new website Katie [last name] absolutely knows about? Subpoena Larry Sharpe of Astoria NY and let’s find out.
RIGHT MARGIN: IT IS NOT A FORM OF MENTAL RETARDATION TO JAM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ON PAPER DUE TO LACK OF SPACE. RULE 32, SENTENCING WITHOUT INORDINATE DELAY. How did [name] know on a recorded phone line at Chicago MCC I bought dinner for Assemblyman David DiPietro’s wife [name] [illegible] DiPietro before Covid? Ask both [name] and David, please.
Not only are we hearing about the owner of Pharaoh’s strip club’s private defense lawyer getting paid now through the public defender’s office in the greatest example of insider favoritism circle jerking I’ve ever heard of (we hear his name is Peter or Chris Grazi and that the NY Libertarian Party’s Chase Tkach/Molly Smash of Orleans County wants to interview him on her Pornhub channel raising money for his commissary and asking him who he’s related to), but now I hear on these recorded phone lines that there is a website dedicated to every letter I’ve sent this court concerning me about my safety and/or my time. How are they getting these letters? Who in this court is giving them out or are these letters truly on PACER? So when I inform the court about [enemy inmate] and now it’s on a website, I’m still being called a public safety threat by a bunch of pseudo science shit psychiatrists when I now have to fear for my safety from [enemy inmate]’s Baltimore MD Black Panthers? Is that who was involved in the 2024 police report on the break in of my house as reported by my grandmother Cindy [last names]? Do I need to go live in Witness Protection forever like former North Carolina Libertarian state committee member Benjamin [Ryan] apparently does as Katie [last name] told me over a burner number in 2023 saying “witsec”?
I sent nothing to the court from Oklahoma the second time I was there so it’s not ‘contempt of court’ to Plead The Fifth to anymore pseudoscience psychiatrists that may come my way. That March 2024 UB report is absolutely there, maybe even on PACER where this new website about me my father Kevin [last name] knows about, so stop blaming me since this new demand for the UB paperwork on me makes my 2 months at Chicago MCC pointless. Wasn’t my idea to send me there so it’s not on me. The UB paperwork is there and it doesn’t matter.”

UPPER MARGIN: “PS – I think the Abughanems are innocent of kidnapping. I heard Waleed is 8 months past his locked plea arrangement still pushing food trays at Orleans County Jail.
LEFT MARGIN: Fuck the UB paperwork. It doesn’t matter anymore since I went to Chicago MCC afterwards. PLEASE PROCEED WITH SENTENCING HEARING PLEASE AND THANK YOU / PS – I am feeling very competent today and it looks like Jay Ovsiovitch still works in Rochester for U.S. Appeals.
[Name] and [name] of the NY Libertarian party have a history with the SWAT Team and Anonymous hackers. [Name] has worked on the front door of my house in Olean. This new website is likely them. They have nothing to say about my former 2019 Olean Libertarian presidential debate participant Daniel Christmann and his friend Jake Lang who I assume will soon be pardoned for their presence at the Capitol Riot. Meanwhile I am still unsentenced in violation of Rule 32.
I think family members with Italian last names to the owner of Pharaoh’s strip club agree that law enforcement agents should not be allowed to mislead or lie to U.S. citizens on duty. It will be great suing Olean Police/Andrew and Krystie of the Buffalo FBI/Kash Patel for bonus points since lying was the method used to get me as I was calling Olean Police on my former neighbor Amber [last name]. I believe I do remember Andrew and Krystie telling me on the way up to Niagara County Jail 1/28/22 what they would like to do with tazers to the forcibly shaved assholes of people who post their written names on a website. Andrew and Krystie did receive a copy of 2020 Libertarian presidential candidate Vermin Supreme’s Rockport MA house address from my desk; Vermin being friends with [name] and former [county] Libertarian Vice-Chair [name] (Michael Crick of the Salamanca Planning Board and [name] know each other) and Vermin being who I met Benjamin Gay Shariah Law “Only My Husband Can See my Face” Jihad Scarf [last name] through. [Name] and [name] being beind this new website.
Let’s sue PACER. How many Frank Sinatra shaped butt plugs did the owner of Pharaoh’s strip club have next to his toilet according to PACER? I’ve seen Jesus shaped butt plugs before. Wow from being one of George Borrello’s donors on his fundraiser party placards to this shit. Legalizing all vice industries and mach speed public safety drones used in an interstate order of protection program I’ve got all figured out will save BOTH parties on this end of recent 2020s crime from PACER humiliation.”
