Hi all,
I'm a 20-year-old male who has just been handed a protection order against me from a girlfriend when I was 16 (she was 14/15 when we were 'dating').
It appears she is being harassed by someone, however it is not me. I haven't made contact with her since 2014. The only evidence she has given are messages from 2013/14 when we broke up, none of which were threatening to her or her family.
The only reason I believe she is doing this is because when we were dating, a 24-year-old man was trying to groom her and she became distant/self harmed as she was being denied to see him by her father. I mentioned this to her mother however she didn't seem to take it seriously, so I called the police about it.
Later on her mother thanked me for doing that, as they found evidence against him.
The conditions are already being met in my eyes, the conditions are for me to not contact her via social media or see her in person (I have not done this since 2014). She mentions somebody is sending her messages of unwelcome images of themselves, harassing messages, etc as recent as this month.
I have legal advice already, this all came at such a shock to me. I thought It was just a petty high school relationship. It isn't a temporary order either, that box isn't ticked.
I feel I can contest it, seeing as there is not evidence listed from later than 2014... No photos that she claims to have been sent, etc.
I have never been to court, I have a vague understanding and have sought legal help.
