He calls the prescription into the pharmacy. Then uses my private insurance, forges my name, picks up the prescription and uses them as an alternative to female hormones (he is a transvestite). I went to pick up my script and that is how I found out. Can I press charges against him? If so, what are the laws and what is the punsihment?

Insurance company and pharmacy know. They cannot do anything. Police have been notified but they wont touch it. Says I have to go into court and file charges. I just do know if there are charges that can be filed. I am in Masaschusetts

He can be prosecuted for forgery, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, and theft of property (the pills are your property, not his). You do not need a police report to seek a warrant for arrest. You can gather all the documents yourself, such as copies of where he signed for the prescription at the pharmacy etc. Goto your local magistrate or night court judge and ask for a warrant of arrest for him. They will review the evidence and determine if there is probable cause to believe a crime was committed and probable cause to believe he committed the crime. If so they will issue a warrant for arrest. The police will have to serve the warrant. The big guestion is why do you want to do that, and have you gotten rid of a boyfriend that steals from you?

It's fraud and identity theft. But on a more important note, I hope you're going to dump him. What he's doing is unbelievably stupid.
First, the birth control pills won't make him grow breasts - that's not how it works.
It will have other nasty side effects, though. A male taking estrogen without a testosterone blocker will cause the body to double testosterone production. It will be just the same as if he was using steroids heavily.
Second, it doesn't sound like he has gender dimorphism, which is a real condition for which hormones, therapy, and sexual reassignment are recommended. He probably has been rejected for such treatment, or else he'd know that what he's doing is a Bad Idea.
Pathological gender disorder - as opposed to gender dimorphism - is a problem which needs an entirely different sort of treatment, and may be part of an even bigger issue.
So, you're looking at a roid raging frustrated wannabe trannie in the near future. Dump him now, or he may end up wearing your skin some day.

You would think that if he is your boyfriend you would know the difference between a transvestite and a transsexual, eh?
You need to go to the local county courthouse and speak to an assistant district attorney. There are files that can be charged but you don't do the filing.........the State of Massachusetts does.
Here is one charge that would be appropriate:
The General Laws of Massachusetts
CHAPTER 266. CRIMES AGAINST PROPERTY
Chapter 266: Section 73. Obtaining goods under false pretences
Section 73. Whoever, with intent to defraud, by a false pretence of carrying on business and dealing in the ordinary course of trade, obtains from any person goods or chattels shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than five years or by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars and imprisonment in jail for not more than two years.

I'm sure the district attorney can locate others.
Hope this helps.

Yes forgery for your name and for stealing a prescription medication. I am not sure what the punishment is because it varies from state to state, but I know in Ohio it can be 6 months in prison or jail. He could really get jail time for insurance fraud. I would file charges and go get me an attorney if I were you.

He impersonated you, and that is fraud. The pharmacy and insurance company need to be notified immediately. As does the police. Don't know the punishment, but he can certainly be arrested for fraud and attemptede identity theft. Good luck!

Find a new boyfriend.
I don't know MA law, in CA this is theft, forgery, personation of another, and a whole host of health & safety code violations, many of which I'm sure Mass has duplicate laws.
Will the DA file criminal charges? 50/50. Find a new boyfriend.

It's called uttering a forged document.

yes, that is highly illegal. the charges and punishments would be similar to that of illegal drug use and identity theft
not to mention i seriously doubt he received any of the desired effects (assuming your story is true)

You have a boyfriend who is a transvestite sorry to tell you this but you have a bigger problem than him steeling your pills.
