ROLE OF THE PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE. The Prosecutor’s Office has the following responsibilities: 1. Seek a Sexual Assault Protection Order (SAPO), Trafficking Protection Order (TPO), and/or court no-contact order prohibiting the alleged offender from having contact with the victim in all cases where charges are under investigation and/or filed (See RCW 7.90, RCW 9A.40.102, or RCW 00.00.000). "No contact" includes no supervised contact and no indirect contact. Violation of a SAPO or TPO is grounds for arrest and may result in the filing of charges. A violation of a SAPO, TPO, or court no-contact order that was issued pursuant to a pending criminal case should additionally be reported to the Prosecutor's Office for revocation of bond proceedings or detention hearings. In general, in the case of conflicting or overlapping court orders, the most restrictive order regarding contact should be followed. 2. Establish connections with existing resources in the law enforcement and civilian communities, to include service providers, youth shelters, victim advocates, school resource officers (or other school administrators), investigators, patrol- level officers, KCJD probation staff, the local FBI field office, and CPS workers. 3. Participate in the King County CSEC Task Force and other groups that conduct outreach and education programs to address the issue of CSEC with interested parent groups, educators, government leaders, businesses, community organizations, and law enforcement agencies. 4. Maintain contact with the FBI’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force members for purposes of information-sharing, investigative support, and determining whether criminal charges are more appropriate in State court or through Federal indictment. 5. While King County has not charged a juvenile for prostitution or prostitution loitering since 2010, if a juvenile is arrested for prostitution or prostitution loitering, there is a presumption that the juvenile meets the criteria for a certification as a victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons as defined in section 7105 of Title 22 of the United States code, and that the juvenile is also a victim of commercial sex abuse of a minor (RCW 13.40.219). When a juvenile is alleged to have committed the offenses of prostitution or prostitution loitering, a prosecutor may divert the offense when, if proved, it would not be the juvenile’s first offense provided the county in which the offense is alleged to have been committed has a comprehensive program ...

If the suspect is incarcerated, every effort will be made to notify the victim of the decline prior to suspect’s release. If suspect is not incarcerated, victim shall be notified within 5 days of making the decision. When possible, notification will occur prior to the suspect notification of the filing decision.
