If the court finds from the information contained in an application for a protective order that there is a clear and present danger of sexual assault, stalking, or other harm to the applicant, the court, without further notice to the alleged offender and without a hearing, may enter a temporary ex parte order for the protection of the applicant or any other member of the applicant's family or household.
