A: In Oregon, if there is a no-contact order in place between co-defendants and one party is accused of violating that order, it's crucial to establish the facts around the alleged violation. If your ex/co-defendant went to jail for sneaking out of rehab and is falsely claiming to have seen you, which led to his arrest, it's important to provide evidence or testimony that clarifies your non-involvement in the incident. Both parties being on probation complicates the situation, as any alleged violation could impact probation status.
