Like I said, it is a preponderance of the evidence. In other words, if there is enough evidence to support the claim that it MIGHT have happened, you are violated.
You can then have your trial and be found not guilty, but the violation stands. it is as simple as that.

I see. So if the judge looks at the evidence and thinks that you may have done this crime that is enough to violate you and potentially send you to jail. If you are then found not guilty at trail, so be it, you still violated your parole.
Seems kind of wild, but I guess the idea is if you are on parole you better make sure you never put yourself in any situation where you even might be considered to have committed a crime.
