Yesterday I wnet to my sons fathers house to enquire where the child maintence has been for the last 2 weeks.
It was me ,me 1yr old son,him and his mother in the flat.
The argument became heated an ended up with him headbutting me and the grabbing me round the throat twice strangling me-his mother did nothing and unfortunatly my son witnessed everything.
I was left with bruises around my neck and a big slash and briuse on my upper chest.
Went to the police the took my statment also pictures of my injurys.Ive been advised to go to a doctors and have it logged which I will do tomorrow.
I will be going to court and certainly wont be retracting my statement.
Im 19 he is 25 I have no criminal record,he has one as long as his arm including assult on police officer.He was released from prison just 7months ago on assult including firearms -was convicted.has just finished probation for that.
Whats the likely hood of him getting a long sentance for this assult?I was unprovoked and I had my young child with me?

Lisalee,

With the facts you report and the injuries logged he will be looking at a long sentence, however you went to him - did any other people witness or hear what happened?

It appears his mother is the only witness, what will she say - you came round shouting the odds - wheres my money etc etc.

The court case can be very involved but contact witness care and find out whos dealing with the case.
Contact the police officer in charge and make sure they keep you informed as to the progress regularly

BEST OF LUCK

I do feel sorry for you being assaulted however you know all about this man and yet went to him to chase up maintenance. You're best walking away from him. Why keep going round there.
