Words cannot express how relieved I was to learn the charges leveled against my son have been dropped. This could mean a few different things; she lied; there is not enough evidence; she got scared.
If she lied I hope she is brought to task. It is, after all, a criminal offence to file a false report in order to get someone in trouble. If she lied she has made it all that much more difficult for women who have legitimately been sexually assaulted to come forward and be taken seriously. If this girl lied, does she even realize what that could have done to an innocent man’s life? And from what I’ve been told the charges were bogus, my son did not touch this girl, and this was all part of some teenage drama.
It’s possible there was just not enough evidence and/or she got scared. I’d rather not believe that’s true but the reality is I hadn’t spoken to my son in a while, and before that there was only sporatic communication and so I need to reacquaint myself with him. I never would have thought he was capable of domestic abuse and yet here he is without his kids because of it.
There are still a couple of seperate matters; resisting arrest and the choking of his girlfriend so I guess we’ll have to wait and see what those outcomes will be. His children are still with the great grandmother but he and his girlfriend are in counselling and working towards being reunited as a family.
He also called me today. It was the first time I had spoken to him in two years or so and I’ll wirte another post about it. Suffice it to say we had a good conversation.
