Any individual who was sentenced for any domestic violence crime in any court. The phrase "misdemeanor crime of domestic violence" is used in this paragraph to refer to any misdemeanor violation that:
Was perpetrated by someone in the victim's family, as described in 901 of Title 10 (regardless of the parties' state of residence); by an ex-spouse of the victim; by an individual who resided with the victim during the period of or within 3 years before the offense; by an individual who had a child with the victim; or by an individual who had an essential dating relationship; and

The fact that the individual was not provided with a notice of the fixed court proceeding is not a defense to a prosecution under this section.

Any individual who is the subject of a lethal brutal protection order supplied under Title 10 Section 7704, but only for the period that the order is in existence or is not given up or otherwise put to an end under Title 10 Chapter 77.
