(a) The judge before whom any person is brought under section 804-31 shall examine the complainant and witnesses in support of the complainant, under oath or affirmation, in the presence of the person complained of, in relation to any matters connected with the complaint which are deemed pertinent, after which witnesses in support of the person complained of shall be examined under oath or affirmation. The person complained of may cross-examine the complainant and witnesses in support of the complainant and may be assisted by counsel at the examination proceedings.
(b) If upon examination it appears that there is just cause to fear the commission of the offense by the person complained of, the person may be ordered not to commit the offense or may be required to give bond in a sum proportioned to the nature of the offense, with sufficient surety that the person will commit no offense against the person or property of the complainant. If it appears that there is no just cause to fear the commission of the offense, then the person complained of shall be discharged and any record of the person's arrest shall be expunged.
