Michael McMahon signed a felony contempt complaint against Richard Luthmann, stating he felt threatened by Luthmann, who lives in Florida. The complaint resulted from a newsletter sent to McMahon's public email inbox. McMahon, as a private citizen, alleged Luthmann violated a criminal protective order with the email he received. He reported feeling an intense fear for his life and safety, perceiving Luthmann as a stranger and potential stalker despite having been subscribed to the newsletter for three weeks.
McMahon alleged that Luthmann committed a felony violation of a criminal protective order when Substack sent out a July 13 newsletter from Luthmann's account.
The distraught McMahon said Luthmann's email placed him in mortal fear of death or bodily harm, perceiving Luthmann as a stranger.
Being a stranger sets off alarm bells for law enforcement—a stalking stranger could be anywhere, heightening McMahon's anxiety.
McMahon had been receiving the Luthmann newsletter for three weeks; he somehow ended up on a subscribers' list.
