If she has been charged but not convicted, there are three possibilities:
1. She is waiting trial. If this is the case there are normally restrictions on travel and leaving the state is most likely a violation of these restrictions. Bail can be revoked and she would have to sit in jail until the trial.
2. She has been to court and found not guilty but has been found guilty in another case and has restrictions because of that case.
3. She has been to court and found not guilty. In this case, she could move about the country as she saw fit.
if she is on house arrest, she has either been convicted of something or has a bail restriction. As such, it is likely 1 or 2 applies.

Oh yes, it has plenty to do with it! If she is already under house arrest that means she cannot leave except for school or job reasons. If she leaves the state, being charged with a felony, she will be in more trouble than she knows what to do with. I know she must be frightened but she MUST stay where the court has put her and she should consider herself lucky to not be incarcerated already! It will look very bad for her if she does this and when they catch up with her...and they will catch up with her, she'll be in jail pending trial...no more being at home. PLEASE try and talk some sense into her. Good luck!

If she left the state, she would be in a different state.
But seriously, if she is on house arrest, she should NOT leave the house, let alone the state. A convicted felon, crossing state lines, while under house "arrest," is not a good thing.
Advise your "friend" to pay her dues to society, suck up the punishment, and to stop committing crimes.

if shes not convicted it isnt illegal, except that these on house arrest. so that would be a felony in itself if the circumstances are correct. by making it an interstate matter, it becomes a federal offense. doubling the illegality of the crime.

She can leave anytime but she must attend the scheduled court hearing. If not, she could be "Tried in Absencia" and waive her rights to defend herself and can be convicted.
