Sexual Assault Protection Order:  Protection orders in Sexual Assault cases generally involve situations where nonconsensual sexual conduct or nonconsensual penetration is alleged to have occurred.  Much of the protection available in a Domestic Violence Protection Order is available to victims seeking a Sexual Assault Protection Order.  Commonly, litigants are under the age of 16, and sexual assault protection orders address transfers of schools when the parties are students.
