Existing law authorizes the court to issue a protective order restraining a defendant from any contact with the victim if the defendant has been charged with a crime involving domestic violence or a sex offense.
This bill would require the court, if that defendant is convicted of that crime and is sentenced to incarceration in the state prison, to, at the time of sentencing, order that upon the defendant’s release from prison, the defendant be served with a temporary criminal protective order protecting the same identified victim or victims from the original protective order. The bill would require this order to last for no more than 180 days.
