§ 5101.73.
If, during the course of an investigation by a local law enforcement agency of criminal
exploitation, any person, including the adult who is the alleged victim, denies or
obstructs access to the residence of the adult, the county prosecutor may file a petition
in court for a temporary restraining order to prevent the interference or obstruction. The court shall issue a temporary restraining order to prevent the interference

access of the local law enforcement agency representative, the representative may
be accompanied to the residence by a peace officer.
