My question involves criminal law for the state of: WA
If the court has issued me a no-contact order so that I can't contact a person, does it make a difference if they go to another country? The protected person is a US citizen, and also wants to contact me. For the past month or so they have been trying to see me and contact, but they are an international who is visiting and they don't really understand that I can't contact them. Luckily, my friend explained the situation to the protected person once when the person tried to come into my apartment when I wasn't there.
The no contact order is of DV nature, but it isn't because either of us were physical towards each other. Someone else actually got the order issued to me. It's quite complicated because the person who got it issued on me is a guy who claimed I did something to him, and the protected person has connections to both of us, so the court issued a no contact order only for the protected person.
The protected person wants the order removed, but they are not in this country anymore. They are still trying to contact me. I am not sure if they can get it removed because someone else got it put up in the first place. Therefore I am wondering if it is safe for me to talk to them. Can the US even protect non-citizens who are not in the country?
