Your friend needs to do the following things in this order:
- immediately file for a restraining order from the ex-boyfriend
- get a lawyer involved ASAP
- file a breach with HHS

Surprising, but she claims to have already contacted a lawyer (probably couldn’t afford the fees). She also complained to HHS, OCR, DOJ, and Joint Commission (whatever that is) and all of them said there was nothing to investigate, or it wasn’t their jurisdiction.
Kind of shitty, but it seems like the social media blitz is having effect; Northern Light is actually paying attention now.

There is a thing called a Protection From Abuse (PFA), and a court ordered No Contact order, but afaik there is no such thing as a restraining order.
I only mention it because this is what I found out when I went to try to get one a few years ago. You don't need a lawyer, just go to your local courthouse and ask for the form and a handbook that explains what each does. Wishing OP best of luck.
