A petitioner may file for a sexual assault PPO regardless of whether the respondent has been charged with or convicted of a sexual assault or substantially similar crime. If the petitioner can show that the respondent does have a criminal conviction for sexual assault then the petition "shall be granted" per MCL 750.142.
