Can I get a sexual abuse protective order against a minor?

You can file a petition against a minor if s/he committed an act of sexual abuse against you. If the abuser is 17 years old or younger, the district court will give up (waive) its jurisdiction. This means that the case will be handled in juvenile court.1
