I know there is a dv protection order, known as the go order. The police can tell an alleged perpetrator to leave, even if the victim does not agree. This means they can have no contact for up to 28 days. So it may have been he was issued one of those. They are effective immediately. I don't know how long they weren't seen together for though, so I may be wrong. Also, for something to be classed as dv, it has to occur between two people who are personally connected to each other. So, partners, intimate relationship, parental relationship or relative. Which doesn't leave much wriggle room for it not to be Crawl. Plus, if the cps go ahead and prosecute and Skanky refuses to testify, she can be held in contempt of court. So all in all, it will be a very entertaining New Year.
