if you go to jail for hitting a girl and then do it again...?

Question

My boyfriend has been in jail for 11 hours once for hitting me. There was a police report filed and i DID have a temp. restraining order on him but its off now. Well he's done it again, 2 days in a row. I have marks and bruises and have taken pictures to show the cops. If i do show the cops these pics, can he be put in jail & if so.. How long?

Answer 1

you are in an abusive relationship. You need counseling and a battered women's shelter. You need to NEVER see him again - get a restraining order and go far away.

Answer 2

Domestic violence charge, 12 hour cool down period if charges are not filed against the suspect. Break up with him and he does it again, It becomes assault and battery, 1-3 years. Why would you not show those pictures to the police?
He doesn't love you!! Would he be using you for a punching bag if he loved you??? You stay with him and you'll wind up in the hospital or dead.Write this one off as a VERY bad experience ,And stay away from him!! PERIOD!!! He has no respect for you, And blames you for every little thing, Doesn't he? That is because he can't accept responsibility for anything he does. So he takes it out on those around him. Tell him it's over between you, And never see him again!! You deserve someone who will care for you, And treat you with the tenderness and respect that a woman deserves . I wish you well and the best of luck..

Answer 3

You need to get out of that abusive kind of relationship. NOW. It will never end - only get worse. Yeah, he can go to jail for about 30 days (actually 20), but he will get out again, and he will come crawling back to you. One day, he will really hurt you. Sure, he will then go to jail for a longer time, but you won't care because you will be dead. Get out while you still have a pretty face. And the cops right now will fall over themselves trying to help you, but they will get tired of filing report after report on you and your abuser. No one can save a person who doesn't want to be saved. Contact your local Criminal Domestic Violence agency for support and information. Move in with your family. Just do something before it is to late. Good luck to you.

Answer 4

Yes. you should call them right now or better yet go down to the police station with the pics. Swear out a complaint against him. Don't know where you live but a smaller town would do this faster than a larger town.

Then be strong and never let this coward get you down. Go through with any charges no matter how much he begs and cries he'll never do it again. And he will do it again you know. Sort of like when you begged him not to do it and he did anyway.

Paybacks are h@l l.

Best of luck

Answer 5

This man is abusive and yes - you need to report every incident to the police and go to the courts and get a PERMANENT restraining order. What is his problem????? He can spend more time in jail for domestic abuse! Years even! Why do you keep taking him back? Please let this loser go - if not - he might kill you next time. I'm not trying to scare you - but I am trying to give you a wake up call. I have known men to abuse unto death - hers and his. In fact, we just had a case about two weeks ago where a boyfriend came to his girlfriend's house - made her get in the car and drive to a deserted place where he beat her upside the head and face with his gun. Then he shot her in the face and then shot himself. His reason - if he couldn't have her - nobody could. She left behind 2 small chidren. One she had just given birth to - one week earlier. These were his kids. Her family could not identify her by her face - only her clothing. Please be careful.

Answer 6

Forget Jail, where is he and Let me teach him a lesson on hitting girls..

Seriously though, Do you not have a father to deal with him, or Bigger friends? Why do you let him in? He has a serious problem, and you need to make SURE he never comes around again. A restraining order will not stop a knife or bullet you know... Be careful. and if you want to, let me know where he is, I am a Truck Driver so I can travel :)

Answer 7

yes he can go to jail,and also you should not of took the restraining order of that makes you look like you are not serious and domestic voilence carries 2-5 for first and repeated offenses, leave him alone it falling into a pattern and will only get worse,it happened with me and my ex husband it first started off not that bad but it grew to the point of either it was me or him if you now what i mean and i left and never came back got protection order and a divorce he was unhelp[able now i have a new life with a man that loves me and treats me like a queen,drop the loser Lisa, he is not going to stop hitting you so end it

Answer 8

The question is why are you letting him come back. A man will only do what you let him do. He doesn't love you so stop believing he do. Love will never hurt you only protect. Stop being his personal punching bag and move on. Go to your local police dept. and tell them you would like to press charges against this animal. He will be brought up on assault and battery. You must stick to your guns, if you drop the charges he will be let go more angry then he went in. You already had two *** whipping the third may end in death.

Answer 9

Girl you deserved better than that,don't let that bastard hit you over and over again.........Let the cops put his *** in jail. i know love is a hell of a thing, can you tell the last time mr LOVE pay these bills?Girlfriend weak up a smell the coffee, the next time he put his hands on you,you may not live to see another day....good luck

Answer 10

He will probably get 30-90 days this time. It really depends on the judge though. You need to get the restraining order back in place, get a protection order issued, and frankly, stop calling this guy your boyfriend and get him out of your life permanently.
