More details to this question:
I got charged with domestic violence. Charges were dismissed. I got caught violating no contact order. It was consensual since we were still dating. What are the consequences for someone with no record if I'm charged once and what are the consequences for possibly a second charge?
I would just to see an attorney, you are clearly playing with fire and potential incarceration. I suspect that the results of a second charge would be significantly greater.
It makes no difference if the contact was consensual because the court ordered you not to have any contact. Your bail or bond may be violated which means your bail or bond could be revoked. If that happens, you would have to remain in jail until your case is resolved. You can have an attorney represent you at your bail violation hearing which would be a good idea.
