When I was six onths pregnant the father of my child hit me and left marks. I called the police and he was charged with aggravated battery. I stupidly dropped the charges. We split up but see each other for visitation purposes. Within a year he hit me on four occassions while picking up or dropping off and I did nothing. The fifth time, I made a report. The officer said he would be arrested.
My question is, will the aggravated battery charge that was dropped still show on his record? Can they use that dropped charge as history? What is he likey to face with a simple domestic battery? Do I have to continue seeing him for visitation situations?
Thanks
