State is PA. I am F20 and my boyfriend is M26.
He had hit me before but yesterday morning was something I never in a million years thought I’d experience.
Yesterday morning around 5 am after arguing and getting screamed at by my drunk boyfriend for hours, he finally unleashed his anger on me when I made a comment about him probably being bipolar like his mom thought his dad (her ex) was. I was on the bed in basically a fetal position while he continuously punched me and hit my face/body. I tried to just cover myself while tasting my own blood and my vision went blurry in my right eye since he swiped my contact lens out when hitting me in the face. He came back for a second round of punching while I was still laying on the bed in shock from the first time. After he finished hitting me, he dragged me off of the bed by my feet where I now have a nasty an extremely painful rug burn down my forearm. I then got pushed into the bedroom door where he then grabbed me up by my neck into the corner of the walls and screamed in my face. I started to get away and try to put on my clothes/locate my phone because I knew I had to get away. I was only in spandex with no top on so I threw on a quarter zip of his that was in the kitchen and was frantically looking for pants. He came back out of the bedroom and attacked me for the third time while I backed myself into the bathroom begging him to stop. He grabbed my head and I watched him in the bathroom mirror repeatedly slam my head into the wall. I was cornered in the bathroom and trying to get away so my only option of escape was backing myself even further into the shower. He then continued to slam my head into the tile walls while I was screaming for him to please stop. I managed to get myself out of the shower and he had me cornered basically like on top of the toilet where he unloaded the last and final round of punches all over my body. I tried as best as I could to cover myself and protect myself. Then he spit on me. Told me to take his fucking jacket off. So I did. He then spit on me again while I was naked and bloody. He made a point he needed to redo that since most of his spit the first time got only on my hands and his jacket. I threw on pants that I grabbed quickly from the bedroom floor and the closest shirt that was on the floor. I put my jacket on, grabbed my bag/coat, and my phone and ran the fuck out of there. I called 911 frantically and they met me down the street. I said I didn’t want to press charges. I said I just wanted to go home and file a report at the station. With my injuries and PA law they couldn’t do that. They went back and arrested him. They made me fill out a statement and the sergeant took photos of my face and arms. They told me I would be receiving something in the mail about a court date.
I have never had any run ins with the law nor have I ever been to court in my entire life. I have absolutely zero idea on what to expect or how to proceed. I feel so lost and alone.
I’m also extremely nervous because his family is very intertwined within the courts in our county. His father (now deceased) used to be a big shot lawyer and they have many connections in the courthouse we will probably have the trial in. His uncle is chief or something along those lines. He has verbatim told me “I fucking dare you to take me to court”. Can I request that the trial is somewhere that no bias can be given?
I’m also wondering what happened to him when he got arrested? Did they actually cuff him? Read his Miranda rights? Did he spend the night in jail? Did he get bailed out immediately? Did they just bring him in to talk? I have no idea
Do I need a lawyer? What should I expect for his defense? Is he going to claim self defense? Is he going to twist this and call me crazy? Am I going to be accused of doing this for a monetary gain because he comes from wealth and I sure as hell don’t? I really am so scared for all of these things and for the story to be twisted. It makes me want to not even show up to the case. Should I even bother pressing charges?
I have photo evidence of prior attacks as well. Around 30 pictures from at least 3 different incidents. I know he also has maybe 3-4 photos of a few scratches on himself from when I actually tried to fight back and defend myself before. Should I be worried about this?
Thank you for reading and any insight on the whole process is genuinely and kindly appreciated.
