My question involves criminal law for the state of:
Can I sue an exboyfriend for statutory rape if I was 16 and he was 25 when I got pregnant and werent married at that time? I was 17 when I got pregnant and we got married over a year after and then a couple of years later I decided to leave him because it was a life with domestic violence by him who also was on drugs.
When we separated we had joint custody and then a few months later he asked for the whole custody that was granted to him, he hired the best lawyer in town and I only could afford one for free.
He was on drugs, physical abused me and my kid up, and was a lot older than myself and the lawyer knew all of this by didnt ever present any of that to the court audience, the lawyer withholded information and didnt present witnesses, paperwork etc. that I had on my favor and I lost the case, I fleed because I lost the case but now want to get back and see if there is something that could be done and reopen the case or fix the situation and specially sue whoever responsible for whatever possible, I got terrified at the time because he kept threating me and my kids that is the reason why I fleed I know that it has been a long time now but if there is anyone able to help me find a way PLEASE do so.
I have proof of what I say and will be able to do everything possible to fix this for me and my kid.
