I didn’t let him get away

mel • Family over EVERYTHING

If any of you have followed me about the case , I have an update. If not, I’ll briefly explain.

5 months ago, I broke up with my narcissistic and abusive partner. 2 days later, he jumped me in my parking garage in broad daylight.

At the time, I was pregnant with his child. He left bruises all over my body from that day. Including my stomach where our child was.

I lost the baby so please NO comments regarding that. Too painful. Just focusing on the case.

The police were called and they did nothing. Negligence was to say the very least.

The next day I filed a report. Over the course of the next 5 months I fought in court with no prior experience in the system by myself to get justice due to police action not taken the day of assault.

He pleaded not guilty time and time again but I kept with it

I was prepared at EVERY corner.

Gathered any and all evidence, check

Constantly receiving legal advice, check

Was punctual to any and all mandatory dates or hearings, check

Went no contact per restraining order, check

Finally, he was sentenced.

3 years probation

3 year criminal restraining order

1 year domestic violence counseling

A hefty fine

Although I wish more was done , I have closure. And many women don’t get that. I am proud to say I won. I never gave up. Not on justice.
