Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Need Help!

I need some help. My husband currently has a criminal case going on with a woman who has kept me out of it. Both of them have an order of protection against each other. Currently she has produced false e-mails saying that I personally have threatened her and made contact with her via e-mail. Now my husbands lawyer says that this is a violation of the order of protection and he can go to jail. My questions is is this true and also what can I do? These e-mails are false and someone has to be anle to prove this and are there any charges that I personally can press on her for lying about these e-mails? Any help would be great!

Re: Need Help!

YES, if you make contact with the woman it can be held agaisnt him, as part of a continued pattern of harassment... also, he is limited to no contact with this person, including through his agents... meaning his friends, family, or anyone else that would call or write on his behalf.

The easiest way to confirm that you did not send the email would be to hire your own attorney to speak to the DA's office for you, or to seek the copies of the emails from his attorney and then contact the email provider to see who this account is registered to.

MUCH LUCK!
