Q: if i instigated a fight, and got beat up by the male person ( i am female), would i be in trouble if i turned him in?

A: Depends on what you mean by instigated and how the fight turned out. If you started the fight in that you hit first, the other person has a right to defend themselves.

A: Hard to say. You might want to talk to a lawyer about the exact details of what happened before you talk to the police. Often fights aren't about who started the fight, by the time the police show up, but rather about which of the parties used enough force to cause an injury to the other.

I also question what you hope to gain by contacting the police? Are you trying to get the police involved because this man is dangerous and might hurt others? Is this a boyfriend who you want to get revenge against?

If this fight involves someone you are in a relationship with, then you have other problems. You are probably a victim of domestic violence, even if you had a part in starting the fight. The man in you partnership allowed the situation to escalate to where you got "beat up". I would urge you to talk to a domestic violence hotline about your relationship. It is not uncommon for these relationships to be volatile relationships where both parties get involved in the fighting, but the female can end up seriously injured or killed. For a couple to have fight is normal when it doesn't involve physical violence. But it is unacceptable and just downright dangerous for domestic disputes to escalate into physical violence.

There is an emotional tie/dependency between women and their abusers that keeps them in these types of relationships and the solution is to deal with that emotional tie, break it, and get out of the relationship. You don't need to talk to the police to get a family abuse restraining order and you can talk to domestic violence victim advocates to get support for making this change. http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/ABUSE/DOMESTIC/Pages/index.aspx
