Q: Petitioner of no-contact order had me violated for text messages I sent her, but she texted me too before and after then
The petitioner alerted the court that I had sent her text messages. This was a violation of a no-contact protective order AND a no contact condition of a sentence that included 12 months of suspended time. However, she also sent text messages and engaged in several lengthy text conversations with me prior to and around the date of the alleged violation. Also, she sent me messages up to 18 days after the alleged violation. I have had no communication with her in at least a month. Does the fact that she texted me as well all these times mean anything to my violation? (Norfolk VA)
