Who can get a sexual assault protective order?

You can file for this order if you are a victim of sexual assault as defined by law, which includes stalking. The sexual assault or stalking may have been committed by anyone, regardless of your relationship. You do not need to have a family or household relationship with the abuser to qualify for the order.1 If the abuser is a former or current intimate partner, then you may qualify for a domestic violence restraining order instead.
