Q: My brother forced me to expose my naked body infront of him while I was in my room. Can I press charges? What kind?
He has been aggressively trying to force himself through sacred boundaries for at least a week since it happened. About a week before he tried to argue with me while I was in the bathroom. While I was on my period and having diarrhea he aggressively be asked multiple times if he could wipe my ass for me. In the latest instant after I had put clothes on and told him I was not his wife, mother, or maid, he tried to instigate a fight with me by getting in my face and trying to push me. I don't feel safe at home and I work from home, so it's effecting my ability to make money. My mom is witness to all of this and sides with him.
A: Yes, it probably constitutes at least one crime. Report it it to the local police or the local States Attorney's Office.
