The motion court found insufficient evidence to justify the order. The appellate court reversed, holding that while N.J.D.'s testimony on sexual assault was conclusory, her uncontested evidence of R.O.D.'s course of conduct, including harassment, isolation, threats with guns, and a physical assault, constituted stalking under the statute. The court remanded with instructions to grant the protective order.","primaryTopic":"family-law","topicSlugs":["family-law","civil-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"reversed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=142395","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/njd-petitionerappellant-v-rod-respondentrespondent-106600","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: family-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/family"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
