The person charged with an act of domestic violence who is restrained by the protection order from contacting the named victim.
“If you're wondering if the named victim, the alleged victim in a domestic violence case can get in trouble for contacting you when there's a protection order in place? The short answer is no. But I want to explain why. So in a domestic violence case, if you are charged with an act of domestic violence against your significant other, you are the defendant, they are the victim. That's how the state sees it, that that's how the court sees it. So you are prevented with that protection order, unless it's otherwise modified.”
