Summary
A judge has slapped another legal restriction on Substack writer Michael Leonard, ordering him to stay away from mayoral candidate George Lorton after finding him guilty of aggravated stalking and harassment. This isn’t Leonard’s first run-in with the law over similar conduct, and the court’s latest ruling underscores the gravity of the allegations. The order bans any contact or approach toward Lorton, aimed squarely at protecting the candidate’s safety. As local politics heats up, the case sparks debate over where public discourse ends and personal harassment begins — and whether the law can keep pace with the fallout.
