F. The sentencing court shall consider, as a part of any sentence, issuing an order restraining the defendant from any contact with the victim, which may be valid for up to ten (10) years, as determined by the court.

The court may issue said order even if the defendant is sentenced to imprisonment in the Tribal Jail or even if the imposition of the sentence is suspended and the defendant is placed on probation.

H. Evidence that the defendant continued to engage in a course of conduct involving repeated unconsented contact, as defined in this chapter, with the victim after having been requested by the victim to discontinue the same or any other form of unconsented contact, and to refrain from any further unconsented contact with the victim, shall give rise to a rebuttable presumption that the continuation of the course of conduct caused the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed, or molested.
