(4) The individual has been previously convicted of a violation of this section or section § 311.
(b) The Tribal Court may place an individual convicted of violating this section on probation for any term of years, accordingly. If a term of probation is offered, the court may, in addition to any other lawful condition of probation, order the defendant to do any of the following:
(1) Refrain from stalking any individual during the term of probation
(2) Refrain from any contact with the minor victim of the offense
(3) Be evaluated to determine the need for psychiatric, psychological, or social counseling and, if determined appropriate by the court, to receive psychiatric, psychological, or social counseling at his or her own expense.
