More details to this question:
So I was 18, and my girlfriend was 16 (don't judge, her mom is the one that set us up) but when I refused to leave her daughter for her, she had her daughter report to the police and say that I raped her (statutory). Long story short, I didn't fight the resulting Order of Protection because I hate drama. But now, her daughter wants to be with me again, and I don't want to be with her unless I'm clear about the Court Record. The last two updates on the history of the case say "Cause DISMISSED for lack of prosecution" and "Undelivered Letter Filed". They did deliver a copy of the Restraining Order to me, but the Case History makes it seem like the restraining order isn't valid anymore. Please help?

You should talk to an attorney. Depending on what specifically was dismissed and what the order specifically said, you may not be in the clear. There are also other factors to be concerned about, such as whether you are also prohibited from contact due to bail, or whether you are prohibited based upon parental notice that you are not to contact their child.
