Stephen A. Swift, Cedar Rapids, for S.D.L., minor child.

Considered by McGIVERIN, C.J., and HARRIS, LAVORATO, NEUMAN, and TERNUS, JJ.


NEUMAN, Justice.

A seventeen year old assaulted the teenaged girl with whom he cohabited in violation of a no-contact order issued in accordance with Iowa Code section 236.14 (1995). Thereafter the juvenile court rejected the State's application to cite or punish the juvenile for contempt, insisting it was without authority to do so. On the State's appeal from the juvenile court's ruling, we reverse but do not remand.1
