this
section, subsection and
subsection (1), the judge or district
court magistrate may order the defendant to wear an electronic

from which he or she would like the defendant excluded. The court
shall consider the victim's request and shall determine which areas
the defendant shall be prohibited from accessing. The court shall
instruct the entity monitoring the defendant's position to notify
the proper authorities if the defendant violates the order. In
determining whether to order a defendant to wear an electronic
monitoring device, the court shall consider the likelihood that the

otherwise threaten the victim prior to trial. The victim may
request the court to terminate the victim's participation in the
