Judge Issues Protective Order For Erika Kirk, Children

A judge on Wednesday ordered Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika, and two children placed under protective custody, ruling that accused gunman Tyler Robinson poses an immediate threat.

The order bars any contact between Robinson and Kirk’s widow. Such restrictions are standard in severe violence cases but take on added weight following Kirk’s assassination.

A copy of the protective order states that Robinson is prevented from “engaging in harassment, threats, stalking, or ‘any other conduct that would place the protected person or designated family or household members in reasonable fear of bodily injury,’” the Western Journal reported. Robinson, 22, is currently being held without bail at the Utah County Jail.

Although he will not be granted release on recognizance soon, Robinson may still have access to a phone while in jail. The order prevents him from contacting Erika Kirk “directly or indirectly, including through phone, email, text, social media, or mail.”
