While awaiting sentencing for violating federal probation in December of 2023, Luke Wenke was released on an ankle monitor along with certain conditions he was required to follow. One of the main focal points of these rules was his online behavior and the need to “educate” him on the thin line between free speech and potentially criminal conduct.
Less than a week after being released on GPS monitoring, Luke Wenke was put back in jail due to complications with situating his court-mandated mental health treatment, as well as the continuously problematic nature of his social media posts. The PDF reader below consists of an order detailing some new conditions that the judge imposed upon releasing Wenke (Doc. #103), followed by an email containing some of his subsequent online posts that raised concerns among the parties involved in his case (Doc. #106).
