Court of Appeals of Washington April 21, 2000, No. 24655-4-II (State v. Marking)

Seinfeld, J.

— Joseph C. Marking appeals his jury conviction for violation of a domestic violence no-contact order. We find invalid a pretrial no-contact order that fails to inform the person subject to it that consent is not a defense to a charge of violating the order. Here, the order was invalid and, thus, the evidence of the crime was insufficient. Consequently, we reverse.
