P. v. Mamaril
Johnny Mamaril pled guilty to numerous acts of sexual abuse to a child. The court imposed a 27-year prison term. At the sentencing hearing, the court continued a protective order, originally issued at the arraignment, which provided that Mamaril was not to contact the victim or one of the witnesses for 10 years from the sentencing date. The court issued the order under Penal Code section 136.2, which permits a court in a criminal case to protect a witness or a victim by issuing a protective order.
