Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington
DV perment no contact &protection orders
Convicted of 2nd-degree assault of wife (beat child also). Continous receipt of letters from prison through a third party, felony for him.
What legal consequences does the person that keeps writing his name on all letters and delivering them face? Can he be charged? Has he broken any law by harrassing and intimidating this family with over 50-letters in 9-months? Will just the prisoner violating the order be held accountable, even though the third party knew there were permanent orders to be respected in effect. It has caused undue hardship and extreem emotional distress to wife and children.

Re: DV perment no contact &protection orders
It is unlikely that the third party will be held accountable. It is possible that they could be charged as an accomplice or co-conspirator. However, how do you prove knowledge of the order? Also, if this third party has any money you could consider suing them for intentionally infliction of emotional distress. You would need to prove "outrageous" conduct.
