Q: How do I file old domestic violence charges on my ex ? Hes military and they hid the DV. I want help on the civil side.
My ex started assaulting me 2 years ago. Everytime I called the cops his command would come get him and take him to the barracks. Nothing ever came of it. He moved me and our girls on post and it got worse. He assaulted me and raped me and i was arrested by the mps. Nothing has ever happened with the dv and i just want my side heard and the harrassment to end. I want to protect my kids. Without dealing with the army he has been hiding behind them by jumping units and none of the info follows him so the command has no knowledge of it.
A: Go to the Sheriff's Office in the county where this happened and ask to file a complaint. The complaint will probably be reviewed by a detective who will decide whether there is Probable Cause to seek an arrest warrant.
