Former Fox Crossing Municipal Judge Len Kachinsky is facing new charges in Winnebago County after allegedly violating a harassment restraining order.

A criminal complaint obtained by Action 2 News shows Kachinsky was charged April 22 with three counts of Knowingly Violating a Harassment Restraining Order.

In 2018, a Fox Crossing court manager was granted a restraining order against Kachinsky. Under the order, Kachinsky was to have no contact with her outside of work and all communications "shall be limited to what is necessary to perform the functions of the Village of Fox Crossing Municipal Court."

Last July, prosecutors charged Kachinsky with Stalking. In response, the Wisconsin Supreme Court suspended Kachinsky from the bench.

On Dec. 10, a jury found Kachinsky not guilty of felony Stalking.

Kachinsky decided not to run for re-election as Fox Crossing Municipal Judge.

The restraining order against Kachinsky was set to expire May 1. That was the last day of his judicial term.

On April 2--the date of the election for Municipal Court Judge in Fox Crossing-- Kachinsky sent an email to the woman about an "oath of office reminder":

On April 9, Kachinsky sent the court manager an email with a Fox Crossing Police Department Facebook post regarding school bus citations. Despite no longer being a judge, he sent her one of his past decisions on school bus citations.

The woman sent copies of the emails to police as evidence of violation of the restraining order.

Police went to Kachinsky's home in Fox Crossing on April 10. Kachinsky told an officer that the emails were "part of running the Municipal Court."

The officer told Kachinsky that the former judge had "no role in the running of the Municipal Court and, therefore, the emails were in violation of the injunction."

On April 12, Kachinsky sent the following letter to a human relations staffer. He copied Fox Crossing Police Chief Tim Seaver:

On April 16, Chief Seaver arrested Kachinsky for violating the restraining order.

The violation charge is a misdemeanor. Each charge comes with a possible sentence of a $10,000 fine, nine months behind bars, or both.

Kachinsky mad his initial appearance May 14.

Cash bond is set at $1,000.

Kachinsky, a former attorney, was featured in the Netflix series "Making A Murderer." He served as Brendan Dassey's attorney following Dassey's arrest for the murder of Teresa Halbach.
