Calling out abuse and seeking to resolve conflict
This is a warning to the lengths that police are willing to go to prosecute a man (me). I am not sure how much I should say as the matter is before the court. However I will just state the reasons that I was arrested on Friday which I think many will find concerning.
I was arrested for Criminal Harassment based on a chance meeting with a person that I am in dispute with. I called her “an abusive liar”. The charging document says “HARASSED *********** BY CALLING OUT TO HER …”.
Similarly there is a second charging document that claims “HARASSED ********** BY SENDING NUMEROUS UNSOLICITED EMAILS …”
All except one of the emails were in dialogue with the other party’s lawyer and copied to the other party. That first email included a letter that began
I am writing because I do not think it is too late to resolve our differences amicably.
and concluded with
I hope that you can find a way to deal with these issues with me in an amicable way and that you can take some real responsibility for how you have treated me.
Essentially it seems that the police believe that calling a woman out on her bad behaviour and asking for a resolution is harassment.
Be warned.
