Stand tall when you do and stand tall when you go to court. If possible
stand taller still when he is sentenced. The legal system no longer
accepts this a trivial crime. It is assault of the worst type because
your victim trusted you to be close.

stick it to the punk, let his ugly actions follow him where ever he
goes. press charges !

i will

Are all the officers and security still there?

Karma, I agree with you 100%. Most women don't press charges and those
seem to be the ones who stick around for the reason I mentioned earlier.
The best thing for you to do Red is to press the charges. Last year my
best friend was hit by her exboyfriend and she stayed with him. The
next time he tried to do worse. After the second time I had to convince
her to come and live with me and my husband for a while. We became best
friends in no time and have since moved out of the house we lived in
just to become neighbors and still be close. The point I am trying to
make is that there is somebody better out there looking for a person
like you. You seem sweet so you should find someone when the time is
right. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!
