Q: How can a victim get information on the defendants release information
A year ago my bf went to jail for online solicitation of a minor. I was wondering since my parents filed against him but won't share his sentencing information, how can I get that information as the "victim". I'll be 18 in a month and I was hoping to file a motion to drop the NCO ( not sure if he even has one) but I don't know the steps to drop this order if needed. During the waiting period there was a temporary (i believe temporary) NCO but I'm not sure about what his sentence looks like after he is released and if there was a permanent one put in place as a part of his releasing terms. He will likely be on the SO registery. He was in the military in GA and I'm in MI. I also know the exact location he went to jail but no further information was given to me
A: You can likely look up public access records from the court he was convicted in. It's highly likely that a no-contact order with you remains in place through his term of probation or parole. It is also highly unlikely, given your age and nature of the offense, that a judge will grant your request to terminate that order. And that's probably a good thing for both he and you. You'll just need to wait until he is "off paper".
