What should I do if the defendant violates bond by contacting me?

Call the police and make a report. This is to document what occurred, place, time, who was present, and what was said, if anything. Be sure to tell the reporting police officer that you are a victim in a pending criminal case and the defendant is out on bond with a no contact condition. Give the officer the name of the prosecutor handling the case. Next, contact the victim specialist assigned to your case. A violation of bond could result in the defendant’s bond being raised or revoked at the next court appearance.
