[quote=Anonymous]You should think about what you WANT to do, for yourself, and do that.  You absolutely can report this to the police and they will probably go to his house and interview him about it, which could send a very strong message whether or not he’s charged.  You could also skip the police and just go to the magistrate and swear out a warrant for assault & battery.  Either way, a court case brings consequences to his life even if he’s never convicted.  You have to prepare for the possibility he’ll deny it and think about how that will make you feel and if you want to go through it.  But you can swear our an A&B warrant, he’ll have to get a lawyer, and he’ll face some consequences, probably not that serious, but some.

Also, I would expect that Alexandria police will take you seriously and not make you feel bad for reporting.  They’ve got the time to do stuff like this.  I don’t think they’ll minimize or discount your experience or tell you to just get over it.  If you’re not in Alexandria then I wouldn’t necessarily say that.[/quote]
