"Kayleigh's Law" provides crime victims of certain sexual, dangerous, and serious crimes with the opportunity to petition the court to issue a lifetime injunction against their assailant.
If issued, the injunction prohibits the offender from making any contact with the survivor, regardless of the terms of the offenders probation status.
Arizona is the first state to offer this protection to victims of violent crime. It is a critical step for survivors of sexual and domestic violence, who often experience ongoing harassment and stalking from assailants and abusive partners, even post-conviction.

ARIZONA RESIDENTS:
The best way to ensure you are protected under this law is to opt in for post conviction notification. If you are listed as a victim in a case that is currently pending and would like to receive notifications about the case, please contact your local Victim Services Division.
We also encourage you to reach out to your local County Attorney's Office or your local Adult Probation Department with any specific questions or concerns you may have.
