Need for G.L. c. 258E

• Many victims of stalking, sexual assault, and harassment did nothave such a relationship with their perpetraror.

• For example, 34% of sexual assaults are perpetrated byfriends or acquaintances:16% of sexual assaults areperpetrated by strangers — neither group would qualify for a209A restraining order.

• Thus, many victims of stalking, sexual assault, and harassmentwere not able to obtain 209A restraining orders.

Need for G.L. c. 258E

• While protective orders are only part of a larger safety plan for victims,

they do provide invaluable safety protection and are vitally important.

About a tenth of stalking victims attributed the cessation of theunwanted behavior to obtaining a restraining, protection, or stay awayorder.

Need for G.L. c. 258E: Prior Remedies

Since 209A was not available to these victims, only imperfect criminal remedies were available prior to the passage of 258E.

Criminal Process:

Many victims of sexual assault, stalking, and harassment do

not report their crimes to the polite; for these victims,criminal protections are not available.

Even if criminal prosecution goes forward, and, as part of

probation/bail/parole the defendant is ordered to stay away

from the victim, such stay away order is usually limited in time

and only enforceable by the court.

Need for G.L. c. 258E: Prior Remedies

Since 209A was not available to these victims, only imperfect did.

remedies were available prior to the passage of 258E.

• Civil Process:

• Relief could be costly as it most likely required representationfrom a lawyer and the filing fee costs;

• Injunctive relief, if granted, was not criminally enforceable —

it was only enforced by a contempt of court.

258E: AN ACT RELATIVE TO HARASSMENT PREVENTION ORDERS

An Act Relative to Harassment Prevention Orders, G.L. c. 258E ("258E"), fills a critical gap in the law by providing victims ofcriminal harassment, stalking and sexual assault, regardless of their relationship with the defendant, with the ability to obtainharassment prevention orders against their perpetrators. Under G.L. c. 209A ("209A"), only those victims who are familymembers, reside in the same household, or have a substantial dating relationship with the defendant could obtain arestraining order; the new law has no such requirement. Please note 209A has not been amended and is still in fullforce and effect.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: WHO QUALIFIES FOR 258E RELIEF?A: An individual who has been the victim of "harassment" and who demonstrates a substantial likelihood of immediatedanger of 'harassment" may qualify for 258E relief. "Harassment" is specifically defined in 258E as: (i) 3 or more acts ofwillful and malicious 1 conduct aimed at a specific person committed with the intent to cause fear, intimidation, abuse ordamage to property and that does in fact cause fear, intimidation, abuse or damage to property; or (ii) an act that: (A) byforce, threat or duress causes another to involuntarily engage in sexual relations; or (B) constitutes a violation of severalspecifically enumerated criminal statutes. 2

Difference from 209A: Plaintiffs seeking relief under 258E need not be in a familial, household, or substantive datingrelationship, as required by 209A.

Q: WHERE CAN A PLAINTIFF APPLY FOR 258E RELIEF?A: A plaintiff seeking a restraining order under 258E may apply in the district, Boston municipal, juvenile, or superiorcourt departments having venue over that plaintiffs residence. Additionally, if the plaintiff and defendant are both under theage of 17, the plaintiff must seek relief in the juvenile court having venue over that plaintiffs residence.

Difference from 209A: As there is no family, household, or dating relationship requirement, the Probate and Family Courtsdo not have jurisdiction to issue 258E orders.

Q: IS THE PROCEDURAL PROCESS DIFFERENT THAN 209A?A: The procedural process is very similar to that in 209A. The remedy is considered civil in nature, but a violation ofthe restraining order is criminal. Plaintiff does not pay a fee for filing the complaint. A plaintiff's residential and workplaceaddress may be kept confidential (unless the plaintiff chooses to request an order for the defendant to stay away from thoseaddresses). A plaintiff may also ask the judge to impound, under current court rules, any part of the file. The court mayissue the following: emergency relief after hours, temporary relief without the defendant present, relief to the plaintiff for upto one year after a hearing with notice to the defendant, and a modified order upon notice to the non-moving party. On thecomplaint form, the plaintiff must disclose all pending actions involving the parties. The Chief Justice for Administration andManagement is responsible for creating all forms, including the Complaint and Order — not the individual courts.

Difference from 209k Under 209A, the plaintiff only has to provide information on the complaint regarding actions fordivorce, annulment, paternity, custody or support, guardianship, separate support or legal separation, or abuse prevention;under 258E, all actions must be included (e.g. civil matters, school disciplinary matters).

Q: WHAT ARE THE REMEDIES AFFORDED BY A 258E HARASSMENT ORDER?A: A person suffering from harassment, as defined by 258E, may petition the court for an order that the defendant,whether an adult or a minor.

Current as of May 3, 2010

n Refrain from abusing or harassing the plaintiff;

• Refrain from contacting the plaintiff, unless authorized by the court;

• Remain away from the plaintiffs household or workplace;

• Pay the plaintiff monetary compensation for the losses suffered as a result of the harassment, including butnot limited to loss of earnings, out-of-pocket losses for injuries sustained or property damaged, cost ofreplacement locks, medical expenses, cost for obtaining an unlisted number and reasonable attorney's fees.

Difference from 209A The following remedies provided for in 209A are not available under 258E: (1) an order to vacate thehome; (2) an order addressing custody, visitation or temporary support; and (3) compensatory losses for moving expenses.

Q: WHAT IS THE PUNISHMENT FOR A VIOLATION OF 258E?A: A violation of 258E is a criminal offense punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000, or by imprisonment for notmore than 2 1/2 years, or both. Persons convicted under 258E must also pay a fine of $25 for deposit into the General Fund.Additionally, the court may order that the defendant complete an appropriate treatment program based on the offense andmay also order the defendant to pay the plaintiff for certain specified damages. Although not a punishment, the court shallalso impose an assessment of $350 against any person who has been referred to a treatment program as a condition ofprobation.

Difference from 209A A violation of 258E will not result in the removal of firearms or other firearms modifications included in209A. Under 209A, the court may consider ordering the abusive partner to attend and complete a certified batterer'streatment program as a condition of visitation; 258E allows the court, upon a violation of the restraining order, to order thedefendant to complete a treatment program, but does not specify which one(s) may be appropriate.

Q: WHAT ARE LAW ENFORCEMENT'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER 258E? A: Law officers should make every effort to do the following as part of the emergency response:

• Assess the immediate physical danger to the victim and provide assistance reasonable to mitigate the safetyrisk;

• If there is observable injury to the victim or if the victim is complaining of injury, encourage the victim to seekmedical attention and arrange for medical assistance or request an ambulance for transport to a hospital;

• If a sexual assault has occurred, notify the victim that there are time sensitive medical or forensic options thatmay be available and encourage the victim to seek medical attention and arrange for medical assistance orrequest an ambulance for transport to a hospital;

• Provide the victim with referrals to local resources that may assist the victim in locating and getting to a safeplace; and

• Provide adequate notice to the victim of his/her rights including, but not limited to, obtaining a harassmentprevention order.

Difference from 209A: Both a violation of 258E and the underlying offense are not currently an arrestable offense. 258Eprovides law enforcement the flexibility to protect victims and provide resources without mandating how law enforcementmust act.

Q. IF SOMEONE QUALIFIES FOR BOTH . A 209A AND 258E RESTRAINING ORDER, WHICH ONE SHOULD THEY OBTAIN?A: If an individual qualifies for a 209A restraining order based on both relationship and actions that fall under thedefinition of abuse, there are several factors to consider.

• Defendant's access to a firearm, and the court's ability to remove firearms in 209A but not 258E.• Violation of 209A as an arrestable offense, while it is not under 258E currently.• Reliance on established case.law that has developed under 209A, and the certainty of interpretation, which is not

available under 258E.• Need for specific remedies the plaintiff seeks in obtaining the restraining order, and whether 209A or 258E is better

for the victim based on that need.
