Explained simply
A non-molestation order is a family court measure intended to protect someone from harassment or contact by another person. It can set limits on what the person named in the order may do.
Breaking such an order can be treated as a criminal offence. The allegation in this case concerns a video shared online; the woman involved cannot be named for legal reasons. Ben Ofoedu is a singer and was previously engaged to broadcaster Vanessa Feltz.
