A: Your daughter needs to go to a police station with the evidence you are talking about and report the crime. They should find probable cause to arrest him, eventually arrest him, and a stay away order will be entered to make it illegal for him to contact your daughter during the pendency of the case. Your daughter can also use the same evidence to petition for an domestic violence injunction (restraining order). It will likely be granted if she goes through all of the proper steps.
