Oregon Obtaining a Sexual Abuse Protection Order is a court order that is designed to protect victims of sexual abuse from continued abuse. This order can be issued by a judge in Oregon in response to a petition filed by the victim or by a law enforcement officer or district attorney on behalf of the victim. The order will specify the terms and conditions of the protection, such as the activities of the abuser that are prohibited and the distance they must keep from the victim and their family. Types of Oregon Obtaining a Sexual Abuse Protection Order include: 1. Ex Parte Order — An Ex Parte Order is a temporary order issued without the abuser being present. It is issued if the judge finds that the victim is in immediate danger or if the abuser is likely to commit further acts of abuse. 2. Limited Duration Order — A Limited Duration Order is valid for a set amount of time, usually one year, but may be extended if needed. 3. Permanent Order — A Permanent Order is issued if the abuser is found to be a significant threat to the victim. It can be issued for a period of up to five years, and can be renewed if needed.
