A 27-year-old man, who plead­ed not guilty to breach of a pro­tec­tion or­der on Mon­day against his ex-girl­friend, was placed on a $15,000 bond.

The ac­cused, who re­sides in Ma­yaro, was placed on bond.

He is ex­pect­ed to reap­pear be­fore the court on Au­gust 14 to an­swer the charge.

The man was ar­rest­ed and charged on Ju­ly 14 by WPC Ram­saran, of the East­ern Di­vi­sion Gen­der-Based Vi­o­lence Unit, who con­tin­ued in­ves­ti­ga­tions in­to a po­lice re­port made to the Rio Claro Po­lice Sta­tion on March 20th, 2023, in which a woman re­port­ed to po­lice that her ex-boyfriend al­leged­ly breached a pro­tec­tion or­der.

En­quiries in­to the re­port re­vealed that the woman had se­cured a pro­tec­tion or­der last Sep­tem­ber from the Princes Town Fam­i­ly Court that barred the ac­cused from di­rect­ly con­tact­ing her via voice or in writ­ten form via tele­phone, text, email or so­cial me­dia plat­forms in­clud­ing What­sApp, Face­book Mes­sen­ger, In­sta­gram or any oth­er so­cial me­dia.

Ac­cord­ing to the po­lice re­port, around 12:55 pm on March 19, the woman was at her home when her ex-boyfriend al­leged­ly breached the or­der by send­ing her a mes­sage via What­sApp.
