Q: Female is 20 years old and is being molested by a man who is 34 years old. Man says he wants to be sexually activew.her

He’s a 34 years old man and manipulates me in order so I can do whatever he wants. I need legal assistance since at this point I just don’t know what to do and the police in my county I got patience and expects something worst to happen until something worst happens. However, not he just did that but threatened my boyfriend with a gun.

A: By all means if he is threatening someone with a gun police should be taking action. It sounds as if you would qualify for a temporary restraining order. It would be useful to consult with an attorney. If you cannot afford one contact North West Legal Services which provides legal assistance and support to battered individuals.
