VIOLATING A NO CONTACT ORDER
by
In the state of Florida, when a violation of a No Contact Order occurred, it is a criminal offense that is classified as a first-degree misdemeanor, which subjects the defendant to a whole new series of criminal charges because EACH INSTANCE OF CONTACT with the alleged victim is considered a separate offense. The names for these types of charges are termed “Violation of Condition of Release,” or “Violation of Pre-trial Release Conditions.” If the defendant has repeatedly attempted to contact the alleged victim and all of those attempts are considered separate charges and if the maximum sentences are run consecutively, a defendant could be looking at years in prison.
