Chris did, for a time use other methods to get to the ladies: tying a sting to a paper heart and throwing it at them;
Which is not chasing them.

Don't underestimate a tard and his love quest. Bottom line is Chris went after women, no matter if he's sitting still or lumbering about.
Oh, there's no doubt Chis "wanted woman". He even had the shirt to prove it. But he didn't want a woman enough to put any actual exertion into it. All his attempts in his Love Quest involved trying to get (or trick or whatever) women to come to him. The difference is significant. At best he'd try weird behaviors (such as throwing rocks) like something in a dating sim, and then get frustrated when the promised boyfriend-free-girl failed to magically appear. It never, ever occurred to him that relationships with other people need to be earned.
It's almost like he believes he's entitled to female attention.
Oh wait, he does believe that.
They let people who have done far, far worse things out on bail, even in Virginia.
But the nature of the crime is just one of the factors considered when bail is set, and often not the biggest. With Chris there are so many other things to consider.
Anyone can see that Chris is not a huge flight risk,
While he's not a huge flight risk, there's a significant chance he simply wouldn't bother showing up for court. Someone would need to manage him to keep his appointments, evaluations, etc. Chris is not worth the court's time babysitting him, especially when he's already contained in a jail set up for exactly that sort of thing.
nor is he at risk of reoffending if he were kept away from 14BC (ankle monitor).
An ankle monitor would not be sufficient to keep Chris away from his lego. All it would do is make it easier to know when he inevitably violated terms of his release. Someone would still have to go deal with him when he does. Left loose and un-managed, Chris is all but guaranteed to do something to put him right back into jail, creating even more work for the court. So why not cut out the middle man and just keep him in jail?
Also, with someone like Chris it's not always a matter of re-offending as it is the possibility of him coming up with new offenses.
His previous record speaks somewhat well of him in this regard since he has shown up to court dates, etc. and has never jumped bail.
But only because someone else, namely Barb, was making sure of it. Chris on his own is no guarantee of that. The court had to have been aware of that.
It's 90% that he has nowhere to go and 10% him being stalked by weens. The prosecutor even pointed out that denying bail was for Chris' well-being.
But that's exactly my point. Chris was not denied bail because he's some notorious criminal mastermind, but because he's well, Chris.
If his family had been willing to take him in (and hadn't instead called the cops to keep him away) he probably would not be in jail right now.
Absolutely. And had Uncle Tom and Aunt Harriet signed to be responsible for him, the court likely wouldn't have assessed any bail at all. Just handed him over.
The court needs someone to be responsible for Chris. That clearly can't be Chris himself. Or Barb, obviously. So who, then? His family have refused. Some random ween? No bondsman is going to take Chris on. So Greene County remains responsible for Chris by default, and the best way they can be responsible for him is by keeping him in jail.
AFAIK the court didn't factor in the EPO at all, or even mention it.
I don't think the court needed to mention it. It's not that Chris violated the EPO, but how he violated the EPO that mattered: unintentionally, stupidly, and selfishly. Chris proved fairly definitively that, left to his own devices, he'll fuck up again. And again. Add weens into the mix and you've catalyzed catastrophe. Meanwhile, keeping him in jail at least minimizes his opportunities to fuck up.
tl;dr: Chris is still in jail simply because, well, it's easier for everybody that way.
Even in the areas for people under protection?
Assuming Chris gets sentenced to hard time (he won't), he still wouldn't get put in a private cell of his own. There simply isn't the room or budget to afford someone like Chris that sort of special attention. Why spend the money putting him in a maximum security facility for violent offenders only to have to waste eve more money putting him in special confinement to protect him from those violent offenders? He would likely be placed with other low-risk offenders in a low security facility, but he would definitely have at least one cell mate.
Honestly, I'd pity whoever gets put in with Chris more than I'd worry about Chris himself.
Oh, and he's in special protective custody while he's in jail because jails tend to have a wider variety of inmates then prisons do. inmates get assigned to prisons, but jails tend to have to take all comers.
