A: If there are criminal charges against the assailant, you should talk to the victim advocate. A lot of times you can get release conditions (if not already in place) that will prohibit contact or harassment. If there is no criminal case you may be able to get some form of protective order such as an order of protection or injunction of harassment depending on the situation and the relationship between you and the assailant.
