This Circus Needs to Stop: Nine Months of Coordinated Harassment and the Week That Proved the Record Speaks for Itself
Kevin Lindke is incarcerated for contempt. His fiancee is posting his witness list to taunt a prosecutor while she is under active perjury investigation in Macomb County Circuit Court. His mother faces contempt hearings on June 8, 2026. His attorney made a documented false representation to the Michigan Court of Appeals. I am writing this because the harassment needs to stop, and because the public record of this week makes that case better than anything I could construct from scratch.

Nine months ago I sent Philip L. Ellison a formal cease and desist documenting what his client had done to my family. He forwarded it to his client as a courtesy. This week, while that client sits in jail for contempt of court, his fiancee posted his witness list publicly to taunt the prosecutor handling his PPO violations, listing as defense witnesses two people who are under active criminal perjury investigation in Macomb County Circuit Court. His mother, the administrator of the platform the post appeared on, faces contempt hearings on June 8, 2026. His attorney made a documented false statement to the Michigan Court of Appeals about his knowledge of my NCMEC child protection report. The record speaks for itself. It has been speaking for nine months. The institutions have it. The journalism exists because the conduct exists. The conduct needs to stop.
What Happened This Week
On May 19, 2026, while Kevin Lindke was sitting in the St. Clair County jail for contempt of court committed twice during his own arraignment, his fiancee Lindke’s fiancee published his witness and exhibit list on Through My Eyes as an open letter to the St. Clair County Prosecutor. The post warned the prosecutor that his witnesses would commit perjury on the stand and told him to proceed at his own risk. It referred to Dean Hines and Devin Strzelecki, both of whom hold active Personal Protection Orders against Lindke and both of whom have evidentiary hearings on Lindke’s PPO violations scheduled for June 16, 2026, by derogatory nicknames. It listed as defense witnesses Jamie Murray and Lindke’s fiancee.
Jamie Murray is Kevin Lindke’s mother. She is the Respondent in Macomb County Case No. 2026-000730-PH. She faces two contempt hearings before Judge Tanya A. Grillo on June 8, 2026. She administers Through My Eyes, the Facebook group on which the post was published. She was aware of the post. She took no action to remove it.
Lindke’s fiancee also faces active criminal perjury investigation by the Macomb County Sheriff’s Department and Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office in connection with sworn statements she made in a PPO petition she filed against Dean Hines in Macomb County, Case No. 2025-002649-PH. She filed that petition as part of the same coordinated trio of perjured filings now under criminal investigation spanning three Macomb County cases. She is now, through posting for Kevin, publicly accusing Dean Hines of perjury. The irony is so thick you need an electric knife to cut it, because the person accusing Hines of perjury is under active criminal perjury investigation for sworn statements she made against him in the same court. Both things are true at the same time, in public, on a platform administered by the Respondent who faces contempt hearings on June 8, 2026. It is truly a mess of epic proportions.
An incarcerated man’s fiancee posted his witness list publicly to threaten sitting St. Clair County Prosecutor Michael Wendling, listed two perjury investigation subjects as defense witnesses, called two PPO petitioners with upcoming evidentiary hearings by derogatory nicknames, and published all of it on a platform administered by the man’s mother, who faces her own contempt hearings eight days later. This is what the network does when one of its members goes to jail. It keeps going. It always keeps going. That is the entire point this article is making.
The Contradiction That Cannot Be Explained Away
Lindke’s post, published through his fiancee, claims he was never served with the PPOs filed against him and that the proofs of service are fraudulent. That claim directly contradicts sworn PPO petitions and court transcripts by both Jamie Murray and Respondent Murray’s husband in Macomb County in which they swore that I came to their home to serve Kevin Lindke.
I did not go to their home. I was working in Kalamazoo more than one hundred miles away at the time they claimed I was there. I did not sign the process server form. The Macomb County Sheriff’s detective investigating the perjury case has my employment records, the process server form, and the sworn petitions making the false claim. He has Jamie Murray’s admission that she completed the PPO form herself. He has her screenshot bragging about her conversation with the detective after I reported the perjury the first time.
The Murray family swore I came to the house to serve Kevin. Conveniently, Kevin is now back to publicly claiming he was never served at all. Those two positions cannot both be true. The network has been coordinating its harassment campaign for nine months and it cannot even keep its sworn statements consistent with its own public posts. The perjury investigation is active. The contradiction is now part of the public record on the platform administered by the Respondent who signed one of those perjured petitions.
The network’s perjury claims are contradicting each other publicly in real time while the criminal investigation is ongoing. That is not a legal argument. That is a documented fact sitting on Through My Eyes for anyone to read.
Publicly Accusing Victims of Felonies Is Itself a Legal Problem
Perjury is a felony in Michigan under MCL 750.422. Kevin Lindke, sitting in the St. Clair County jail for contempt of court, published through his fiancee a public post naming Dean Hines and Devin Strzelecki as witnesses who will commit perjury on the stand. He called them perjurers by derogatory nicknames to a network audience of thousands, accused the sitting St. Clair County Prosecutor of suborning perjury, and warned that things would “go very badly” for the prosecution at the June 16, 2026 evidentiary hearing.
There is a specific legal problem with doing this publicly when you have no evidentiary basis for the accusation. Making a false report that a felony has been committed is itself a criminal offense under Michigan law. MCL 750.169 addresses false reports of crimes. When an incarcerated person publicly accuses named individuals of planning to commit perjury, which is a felony, before a scheduled court proceeding, on a public social media platform, and does so through a proxy while the people making those accusations are themselves under active criminal investigation for perjury in a different county, the legal exposure compounds.
The people Lindke is publicly calling perjurers are registered victims and active cooperating witnesses in law enforcement investigations. Dean Hines and Devin Strzelecki both hold separate PPOs against Lindke. Both have upcoming evidentiary hearings on Lindke’s PPO violations. Publicly characterizing cooperating victim-witnesses as felons before they testify, through a network platform reaching thousands of followers, is the kind of conduct MCL 750.122 on witness intimidation was written to address. The fact that Lindke did it from jail through a proxy does not change what it is. It really only changes who the investigators need to talk to next.
An incarcerated man whose fiancee is under active perjury investigation in Macomb County for sworn statements she made against Dean Hines publicly accused Dean of planning to commit perjury, a felony, before Hines testifies at a scheduled evidentiary hearing. The same person who attended Dean’s PPO Show Cause last week and then as captured by St. Clair County Court Cameras, chased him down a hallway to throw papers at him. And they did this through the same network platform his mother administers. His mother is the Respondent in separate contempt proceedings nineteen days away. The people publicly calling others perjurers are themselves under active criminal perjury investigation. The people being called perjurers are registered victims cooperating with active law enforcement investigations. That is the documented reality of what happened on Through My Eyes on May 19, 2026.
Ellison Lied to the Court of Appeals
On May 18, 2026, Philip L. Ellison filed a Response in Opposition in Michigan Court of Appeals Case No. 380599. In Footnote 1, he represented to the Court of Appeals that he had no knowledge of my NCMEC CyberTipline report at the time he filed the November 27, 2025 show cause, because “the report was made to a private nonprofit.”
My November 18, 2025 article confirming NCMEC CyberTipline No. 222110727 was published publicly on clutchjustice.com on November 18, 2025. IP address 162.247.150.54, identified through PACER records in Lindke v. King, Case No. 2:22-cv-11767 (E.D. Mich.), as the IP address from which Ellison’s office transmitted documents in that federal proceeding, accessed my platform on November 18, 2025, the date of publication. His office accessed the platform again on November 21. I reported the IP to LakeNet LLC on November 22. He filed a show cause on November 27.
He told the Court of Appeals he had no knowledge of the report. His own office IP read the article reporting that confirmation on the day it was published. Nine days before the show cause. MRPC 3.3(a) prohibits a lawyer from making a false statement of fact to a tribunal. The Court of Appeals is that tribunal. The IP log is the receipt.
Ellison’s office read my NCMEC article on the date of publication. He filed the show cause nine days later. He told the Court of Appeals he had no knowledge of the report when he filed it. The IP log, the LakeNet letter, and the PACER records from his own federal litigation establish that representation is false. Both the COA and the Saginaw successor judge now have that documented sequence. The Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission, AGC File No. 25-2363, Senior Counsel Cora Morgan, has it as well. So does the Michigan Attorney General’s office, which received Ellison’s retraction demand this week as a concrete example of the conduct I escalated about on May 17.
The IP log methodology, cross-forum record building, and coordinated harassment pattern documentation in this case are the same tools available to litigation finance firms, civil rights organizations, law firms, and insurance SIU teams through Clutch Justice institutional forensics consulting.

I have been documenting this since July 2025. It has cost my family $182,334.90 in documented compensatory damages, not counting the intentional infliction of emotional distress, the security costs, or the punitive damages that a jury will determine. My doctoral program has been disrupted. I’ve lost contracts and professional opportunities following coordinated contact with clients by this network. I was forced to leave one contract position in September 2025 because the stalking made it impossible to keep up. I have had process servers sent to my home. I’ve received hate mail. I have had my child’s name registered on a harassment domain. I have had my our home address published using documents this network drafted for court proceedings. I have had a retraction demand threatening to sue me again land in my inbox on May 16; the same week I caught Ellison making a false representation to the Court of Appeals.
I am a registered Michigan crime victim. My NCMEC CyberTipline report was confirmed on November 18, 2025 and transmitted to the Michigan State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force six months ago. I escalated to the Michigan Attorney General on May 17, 2026. A registered crime victim with an active NCMEC referral and a six-month-old CyberTipline report should not have to escalate to the Attorney General to get a coordinated law enforcement response. But here we are.
My children have watched me fight this for nine months. They know I did not stop. That matters more than any case outcome. But I want to be clear about what this fight has looked like from inside it: there has not been a single week in nine months in which this network did not generate new conduct that required documentation, response, and escalation. Not one. This week was the week Ellison lied to the Court of Appeals and Lindke’s fiancee posted his witness list while he sat in jail. Last week it was the retraction demand. The week before that it was a new process server at my house. It does not stop. It has never stopped. And every week it continues, the documented damages total goes up.
What the Network Does Not Appear to Understand
I am a forensic analyst by training, a journalist by practice, and someone who documents everything in real time as a professional habit. The record that now exists across eight PPO proceedings in three counties, two federal cases, one active AGC investigation, multiple active law enforcement investigations, a seven-count counterclaim with a jury demand, and ten published investigative articles was not supposed to exist. It exists because I built it while this network victimizing me and trying to stop me from building it.
What makes Through My Eyes more than a personal outlet is its audience. The people who follow that page take what is posted there at face value. When Lindke posts that someone is a stalker, they believe it. When his fiancee posts that someone will commit perjury, they believe it. When someone posts that someone filed false police reports, they believe it. And then they participate. They comment. They share. They generate their own contact with targets and take screenshots back for praise. They send messages. They make calls. They amplify every accusation to their own networks, which amplifies it further. The harassment is not one person. It is a platform, an audience primed to treat every post as verified fact, and a comment section full of people who have never read a court document in their lives but are absolutely certain they know exactly what kind of person someone is because Kevin Lindke told them so from jail.
That is what a coordinated harassment campaign looks like from inside it. Not just the principal actors but the network they have built around themselves, the audience that functions as both amplifier and participant, and the platform that gives every accusation the appearance of credibility simply because it has thousands of followers and nobody is fact-checking the posts against the actual court record. The actual court record is what Clutch Justice is for.
The methodology that produced this week’s IP surveillance supplement, the network post supplement, the amended damages table, and the COA supplemental notice is not unique to this case. It is the same methodology I use in institutional forensics consulting work. Email header analysis. IP log cross-referencing against PACER records. Timestamp correlation across independent documentary sources. Cross-forum record building that connects conduct in one county to sworn statements in another to public social media posts to federal court exhibits. That methodology has produced a record Ellison cannot explain, a contradiction the Murray family cannot reconcile, and a perjury investigation that has a detective reviewing documents the network posted publicly about itself.
Jamie bragged on Facebook about her conversation with a detective after I reported my perjury complaint in December. Kevin Lindke posted from jail through his fiancee’s account that his witnesses will destroy the prosecution’s case at the June 16 evidentiary hearing. Jamie Murray administers the platform where all of it lives and has taken no action to remove any of it. They are generating their own evidence. I am just the one organizing it into court supplements and forwarding it to the right agencies.
Why Write This At All?
I am asked that question more than any other. Why keep publishing? Why not go quiet and let the courts handle it? Why make yourself a bigger target by documenting everything publicly when the network has thousands of followers and you have one journalism platform and a very tired family?
The answer is simple. I do not want this to happen to anyone else.
What I have been living inside for nine months is not unique to me. Coordinated multi-party harassment campaigns that operate across county lines, use fabricated court filings as instruments, and exploit the fragmentation of law enforcement jurisdiction are not rare. They are a methodology. They work on most people because most people do not know how to build a cross-forum evidentiary record, cannot afford to fight in multiple courts simultaneously, and eventually go quiet because the cost of continuing is higher than the cost of surrender. The network refines the methodology with every target. It has had a lot of practice.
The specific cruelty of multi-jurisdictional harassment is that law enforcement cannot easily see the full picture. Every person you talk to, you have to spell it out for in crayon. A Macomb County detective investigating a perjured PPO petition does not automatically know what the Saginaw County Circuit Court knows about the void proceeding, or what the Michigan Court of Appeals knows about the COA sanctions motion, or what the Michigan State Police ICAC Task Force received in a CyberTipline referral six months ago, or what the AGC investigator in Lansing is reviewing. Each agency sees its piece. Nobody is required to assemble the whole. And the network operates in the space between the pieces, moving to the next county when one proceeding closes, filing the next petition before the last one is fully resolved, generating enough volume that no single agency can track all of it at once.
I have spent nine months doing the assembly work that the system is not at all designed to do: building the cross-forum record. Connecting the Macomb filings to the Saginaw proceeding to the COA docket to the federal PACER records to the IP access log to the NCMEC CyberTipline confirmation. Writing articles that index the pattern in a form that is searchable, citable, and permanent. Filing supplemental notices that put the full picture in front of each court that only has part of it. Escalating to the Attorney General when the agencies were not coordinating. None of that should have been my job as a crime victim.
It became my job because nobody else was doing it.
I am writing about this because someone has to. Because the people who get targeted by campaigns like this and do not have my background in federal program management, forensic analysis, and investigative journalism do not survive it the way I have. They lose their jobs and do not document why. They lose their housing and do not connect it to the harassment. They go quiet in court because they cannot afford to fight in four counties at once and they do not know that silence looks like concession. They call the police and the police open a report in one county that never gets cross-referenced with the report in the next county over. They are told it is a civil matter. They are told there is nothing law enforcement can do. They are told to get a lawyer they cannot afford for a proceeding they did not start.
Michigan has a PPO statute, a stalking statute, a cyberstalking statute, a witness intimidation statute, and a perjury statute. What it does not have is a coordinated multi-agency response protocol for harassment campaigns that deliberately operate across jurisdictional lines to exploit the fragmentation of law enforcement. The gap is not a lack of law. It is a lack of coordination. And in that gap, targets get ground down by volume, by cost, and by the accumulated exhaustion of fighting the same network in a different county every few months while nobody is looking at the whole picture. Closing that gap requires the kind of cross-forum record that Clutch Justice has built in this case. It should not require a journalist-victim to build it. But here we are.
If you are reading this because something like this is happening to you, document everything. Every filing. Every post. Every timestamp. Every case number in every county. Build the record before you need it, because by the time you realize you need it the network has already filed three more things and the detective you talked to last month has been reassigned. The record you build is the only thing that survives the fragmentation. It is the only thing that forces a coordinated response when no coordination is coming from the institutions. It is the only thing that proves the pattern when every individual incident looks isolated.
That is why I write this. Not to relitigate my own case in public. Not to generate sympathy. Because the methodology being used against me is being used against other people right now, in other counties, by networks that have refined it through years of practice. And the only antidote I know is documentation, journalism, and a refusal to go quiet about what is happening.
The Simplest Path Has Always Been the Same
Philip L. Ellison received a formal cease and desist from me on September 10, 2025. That communication told him exactly what his client had done to my family. He forwarded it to his client as a “courtesy” and moved on. If he had done his job that day, there would be nothing to write about. My family would not have been gutted. I would not have had to escalate to the Michigan Attorney General. None of this would have happened.
What comes next? A new Saginaw judge reading a complete record cold. A Macomb County detective with the perjury investigation documents, the bragging screenshots, Jamie’s admission that she completed the PPO form, and the contradiction between the Murray family sworn petitions and Lindke’s public post. An AGC investigator with the false representation to the Court of Appeals. The Michigan Attorney General’s First Amendment division with Ellison’s retraction demand. A jury with $182,334.90 in documented compensatory damages accruing every month this continues.
The harassment needs to stop. It needed to stop in September 2025 when I asked the first time. It needs to stop now. The record is complete. The institutions have it. The choice about what happens next belongs entirely to Philip L. Ellison and his clients.
Transfer the domains. Pay the damages. Publish the acknowledgment. Agree to no contact. That is the entire list. It has been the entire list for nine months. Every day that passes without those four things happening adds to the documented harm, adds to the accruing damages total, and adds to the record that a jury will eventually weigh. The circus ends the moment the network decides to leave people alone. That decision is theirs to make. They have until June 16.
Philip L. Ellison and Outside Legal Counsel PLC were contacted for comment prior to publication. No response was received.
