A no contact order is an order granted by the court that forbids the accused from contacting the alleged victim. This can include direct contact as well as indirect contact through messaging. All of the electronic types of social media, and venues for contacting somebody through friends. So, all of those things are on the table when talking about not contacting somebody. The judge is trying, with a no contact order. To get everybody to cool off a little bit in the heat of the moment.
The orders from the judge have to do with the accused and not their family. So, the family has the freedom to contact the alleged victim, but not the charged person. As long as the contact is not in the direction of the charged person. It does not violate any rules or laws. But again, if a person is getting close to this sort of backdoor attempt to contact the alleged victim. They are on thin ice. Even if an individual is not the subject of a no contact order. It is a good idea to refrain from contacting the alleged victim. In order to ensure that all parties are safe.
