    Default Reporting Abuse By My Girlfriend Months After the Incident

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Wisconsin

    I didn't know where to turn for help so here I am.

    About a year ago, my then girlfriend and I were breaking up. I suffered a psychological breakdown after she started flaunting men in front of me
    (including having them over at our home). For which I was held on a suicide watch for 5 days. I received nothing in the way of substantial help.(No medication or counseling).

    One day while I attempted to move out (she had a guy over) she called the police. I was arrested and charged with Disorderly Conduct (No priors).
    While I await my day in court, she called me and wanted to reconcile. We started living together again. Later I was placed on probation (with no abusive contact with her).

    While on probation, she viciously attacked me one night when I declined to be intimate with her. Unknown to her, I was able to record some audio of it with my cellphone.
    She threaten to have me put in jail and that no one would believe me if I reported it (she works with the DOC as a supervisor/counselor).
    I was extremely scared and believed her. So I didn't reported it. Now 10 months later, she called the police when I refused to have her drive my vehicle.
    The police ordered me out of the house that night. Now, I am thinking of filing domestic battery charges.

    Is it too late to file charges?
    What are the chances the police will believe me/take action?
    Would it matter since I'm on probation?
    I mentioned it to my probation officer, but she did nothing.

    Please help me, thank you.

    Default Re: Abused While on Probation

    Charges filed in retribution are less likely to be considered. You should have moved out after the first disagreement on monogamy. Your choice to stay there evolved into this.
