The FN article states that she had a restraining order to keep him away from her home. If that was the case, he likely abided by that order.
True
In my experience, protective orders tend to be our (the police) tool for taking action when the protected party, against all better judgement, decides to let the abuser back into their lives against the order of the court. Protective orders, by design, are intended to give the police PC to make an arrest is situations that otherwise wouldnt have PC. They are not "magic wands" that keep people away or make them comply.
