Supreme Court of Iowa June 18, 1997, No. 96-1742 (In the Interest of S.D.L.)

NEUMAN, Justice.

A seventeen year old assaulted the teenaged girl with whom he cohabited in violation of a no-contact order issued in accordance with Iowa Code section 236.14 (1995). Thereafter the juvenile court rejected the State’s application to cite or punish the juvenile for contempt, insisting it was without authority to do so.
