1 Answer from Attorneys
Your brother is on probation for violation of a protective order and has a previous sex offense case that you do not say resulted in a conviction or not.
Good advise to him would be that being out on that night would be a very bad idea.
A good brother would tell him that for his own protection against a claim, he should not leave the house.
If he wants to challenge it, though, he should retain an attorney to ask the court to change the rules of his probation. I doubt that would be successful, though, particularly if the sex offense involved a minor and even more so if it resulted in a conviction.
