Jane C. Watson, for appellant.
J. Tom Morgan, District Attorney, Candace N. Kicklighter, Barbara B. Conroy, Assistant District Attorneys, for appellee.
Following his convictions of three counts of battery, Randy Moody appeals, contending the trial court erred by conditioning his probation on no further direct contact with his wife, the victim of all three offenses. Moody contends the trial court's condition (1) violated his state constitutional right to privacy and (2) was "invalid, unreasonable and unenforceable."
(Citations and punctuation omitted.) Id. We find that the condition imposed by the trial court bears a reasonable relation to preventing the defendant from committing further batteries of his wife. The trial court made arrangements for Moody to visit his teenage children and also permitted him to communicate with his wife in writing and by telephone. Thus, the condition was no broader than required to establish the goal of protecting the victim from further criminal conduct.
Judgment affirmed.
