Q: can someone be charged with a danco violation without an assault charge
my ex gf assaulted me back in march 2020 and was issued a danco. since then she has violated the order twice and has just been charged and found guilty of one violation of the danco but has not been charged with the assault yet or the other violation. so im just wondering how this all works. any info about this situation would be extremely helpful. thanks
A: Of course. There does not need to an assault to charge out a DANCO violation.
A: Yes. Violating the DANCO doesn’t require an assault.
A: Yes. In most cases, it's easier for a prosecutor to prove a No Contact Order violation, than an assault. But of course each case is different.
