The new news here (beyond SCOTUS review) is that Zach Gottesman publicly outed his own "anonymous" client Ryan Olthaus, during his wife Angela Janke Olthaus' ex parte hearing to obtain a civil stalking protection order against me, Korte.
Lots to unpack:

For starters, I'm not 'the man behind the online group "Friends of Bones"'. Friends is plural.
I am just one of many friends of Bones and we continue to stand behind him. We're just friends doing what friends do, each according to their ability.

Olthaus sued two of us personally this summer, as well as FoB.
He dragged his wife and kids into the lawsuit, swearing a perjured affidavit that they'd taken steps to protect their privacy.
In reality they hadn't, and were oversharing on social media.

Privacy is at the core of the claims in the defamation lawsuit.
Then in September Judge Shanahan invoked the hypothetical gory icepick enucleation of Angela Olthaus in her ruling to keep Ryan Olthaus' identity sealed.
The Streisand Effect can be ugly.

In the ex parte hearing for the civil stalking protection order, Magistrate Rentz warned Olthaus she was making public her kids' names and dates of birth.
Olthaus said she was cool with that. She recognized there was no threat to her family, only offense I called Ryan a bad dad.

Everything we know about the Olthaus family, we know because we were forced to defend ourselves in an expensive lawsuit where they centered the kids.
Throughout the process, the parents have continued to make more and more details about their kids public record.
Bad parenting.

In the hearing, Gottesman made "colorable" false claims that his client Angela Olthaus, under oath, was forced to refute.
No one has ever posted the Olthaus' address, public record through the Auditor and Board of Elections websites, nor identified their children, except them.

The civil stalking protection order is a politicized abuse of a system intended to protect true victims of domestic violence. It's shameful.
We were dismissed from the defamation case in August, and so not bound by the anonymity injunction. They now seek the same gag remedy here

Magistrate Rentz gave 4 reasons the order was illegal:
1. Can't identify / don't know me
2. "not really what the legislature intended"
3. "no threats of violence"
4. "that (Rasawehr) Supreme Court decision recently"
Yet she granted it anyway: "Maybe this will get his
attention"

Who is Magistrate Margaret Rentz? Unrepentant supporter and former staff for "appalling" disgraced Judge Michael Bachman, disbarred for abusing legitimate applicants for protection under the same civil stalking protection statute.

Like "Icepick" Judge Megan Shanahan, Magistrate Rentz is an activist judge who will violate the constitution to promote a political pro-cop agenda.
We've chosen to fight this order in solidarity with the remaining defendants in the defamation suit, which targets CCA complainants

Against her own admission, Rentz found Angela Othaus was "in immediate and present danger" and imposed criminal restrictions on my freedom.
Underlying the civil protection order is a criminal offense of menacing by stalking, a fourth-degree felony.

I've been a bona fide foreign resident 10 of the last 12 years. I don't live in Cincinnati. But if I did, Ryan and Angela Olhaus could cruise around in his squad car looking for me, at City Council public session for instance, and arrest me on sight. If they knew what I look like
The last sad folly of the case is that Angela Olthaus, having never met me, could not give a description of me.
In the end, Magistrate Rentz herself "picked me out of the lineup." Only it wasn't me. The wrong Matthew Korte was served notice and spent $500 on a lawyer in defense.

I don’t know how much the other Matt Korte’s lawyer billed. I’m guessing based on my own experience.
Lawyers aren’t cheap and imposing that cost is part of the SLAPP suit strategy.
The Olthauses and compliant courts have been reckless about who they hurt with their agenda.
