Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey
If a defendant (who is charged with the endangerment of a child on the 4th and 2nd degree) is released on bail, on the terms that he have no contact with the victim,
does the victim still have the right to contact the defendant as long as he doesn't respond to her?

For the defendant to have ANY contact with the (alleged) victim, regardless of who initiates it, is asking for trouble. It is a no-win situation. Walk away!
Answering your question, the order applies only to the defendant. The alleged victim is not restrained.
A.
Any sort of contact is going to get the defendant in considerable trouble. Perhaps the defrendant's attorney could contact the alleged victim and advise that person that contact is not
allowed or find out why the alleged victim is trying to contact the defendant.

Attorney for Defendanty bshould call the Prosecutor's office and perhaps file a petition with the Court asking fo0r an order for the so-called victim to stay away....The victim could be trying to bait the accused.... STAY AWAY!!! But get a lawyer's help.
