Q: Good or bad idea to meet with ada to prevent charges in dv case?

ADA wants to meet with me, the "victim" of domestic violence to prevent charges before court. Will this help or hinder? Can't I just fax a statement on my boyfriend's behalf? They said no, but I don't see why not. Also, if I don't show up for court, can they file charges anyway?

It is not, however you should contact the other party to advise they have no consent to access your private accounts. You should also seek to protect those accounts. Should those accounts be accessed, it can constitute an illegal “hacking,” and you should file a police report immediately.

His threats are a crime, called extortion. She should keep his texts about this, and tell her divorce lawyer about them, and her drug history. Tell her not to worry about this. Police won't do anything about it.
