expired, the judge may order that the injunction stay in effect for up to eight years,
or up to four years if the victim is a child, if the judge finds that there is a substantial
risk that the person may commit first-degree or second-degree homicide or
first-degree, second-degree, or third-degree sexual assault against the victim.
