A protective order does NOT go both ways. So he can get in trouble for having contact with her, but she cannot get in trouble for having contact with him. It is very possible he is being set up. Also, evidence that she continues to contact him is very compelling in any attempt to dissolve the protective order or avoid having it extended. Part of such orders is a fear of contact . . . so if she's constantly reaching out to him she obviously doesn't fear him or see him as a risk and therefore she doesn't need an order to protect her from him. He really needs to consult with an attorney.
