On December 17th, 2025, Luke Wenke was arrested by federal agents in Salamanca, New York on a cyberstalking charge. Thirty-three-year-old Wenke, already a federally convicted cyberstalker, now stands accused of targeting a court official who was involved in the oversight of his first cyberstalking case.
According to a criminal complaint, Wenke accused the victim of conspiring with me to run this website. For anyone who needs the disclaimer, this website has always, since day one, been a one-person operation. I’ve designated a specific individual to take over in the event that I become incapable of running the site on my own, but for now, it’s just me.
Like many people who like to deep-dive into criminal cases, I obtain Luke Wenke’s court files from PACER, which anyone can access. I post some of the documents on this website because PACER fees add up and the system can be a pain in the ass to navigate, serving as de facto barriers for some people who are interested in learning about the case.
Luke Wenke must be grossly unaware of how displeased the authorities seemed after learning about my website. They certainly weren’t happy about it, but they acknowledged my right to free speech, and the website’s creation more-or-less marked the end of my interactions with anyone officially involved in the case.
Wenke’s far-flung fantasies of me rubbing elbows with and fucking court personnel and members of law enforcement for the sake of sabotaging him is, therefore, wildly off-base. These types of irrational and farfetched beliefs even contributed to at least one expert’s opinion that Wenke is delusional.
Luke Wenke Lands Back In Custody
During Luke Wenke’s initial court hearing in Buffalo, New York following his most recent arrest, the judge determined “that no condition or combination of conditions of release” would “reasonably assure the safety of any other person and the community.” Wenke was remanded without bond, landing him back behind bars just two months after his release from prison.
The Order of Detention below specifies the judge’s reasons for denying bond. First and foremost, Wenke is accused of committing terrorism, which is considered violent in nature. Secondly, the weight of the evidence against him is strong, and he faces the prospect of significant prison time if convicted as charged.
Additionally, the document cites Wenke’s alleged history of drug and alcohol abuse, his criminal record (including his past probation violations), and his “participation in criminal activity while on probation” as reasons for denying bail. The order goes on to mention how Wenke allegedly reoffended less than a day after his probation for his previous case ended, describing his alleged actions as a near-immediate return to his problematic behavior.
More specifically, the document states that “the charged offense is similar (if not identical) to the facts underlying the 2022 conviction” while mentioning Luke Wenke’s past failures to comply with the terms of his supervised release.
