Washington Sexual Assault Protection Order (WAS APO) is a court order issued by the Superior Court of Washington State that prohibits the respondent from engaging in certain specified activities, such as contact, communication, or living in proximity to the petitioner. Wasps are issued to protect victims of sexual assault from further harm and can last for up to five years. The order may also require the respondent to participate in counseling or treatment, or to surrender any firearms. There are two types of Wasps: Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Protection Orders (DV-SAPOs) and Non-Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Protection Orders (NDV-SAPOs). DV-SAPOs are issued when the petitioner and respondent have had a domestic relationship, while NDV-SAPOs are issued when the petitioner and respondent do not have a domestic relationship. Both types of orders can protect victims from further harm and provide a legal remedy for survivors of sexual assault.
