If the victim in a criminal case that a county attorney is prosecuting has retained counsel to represent him in a civil case arising from the same set of facts and involving common issues and evidentiary questions, and that attorney has requested contact with the victim regarding those aspects of the prosecution be made only through him, Rule 4.2 prohibits a prosecutor from having direct contact with the victim regarding those aspects of the case.
