Q: I pressed charges on my ex boyfriend last week for DV. Before they could arrest him, he had women calling threats to me
Today I was assaulted with about 40 kicks and punches to my head and face I told her that I have a heart condition and she said I hope you die and continued to assault me. What would be the charges.
A:
Battery at a minimum. PC 242 which is a misdemeanor with up to six months in jail.
If you suffered serious bodily injuries, PC 243(d) which can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony with up to 1 yr (misdemeanor) to 2-4 years in jail (felony).
Report the matter to the local police.
