Re: adjusting to a restraining order
Passing a polygraph does not insure that the case will be filed. Contacting the alleged victim or any of the alleged victim's family or friends may result in your being re-arrested. Generally your attorney would be allowed to contact the alleged victim etc. for purposes of representing you.
