If you report her assault against you, chances are that your state has laws preventing suspects from contacting victims and witnesses and in any way intimidating them. In addition to a restraining order, be sure to contact the police if this person contacts you at any time and makes any threats or comments concerning your reporting a crime. These threats are also generally unlawful if made through third parties or even TO a third party. In other words, they can't tell your friend to tell you they are going to get you, and they can't have their friend tell you they are coming for you - these would typically be unlawful acts.
