Right... well from my prior knowledge, it wasn't illegal.
What was the source of this prior knowledge?

It CAN be criminal.

My girlfriend may press charges on him for abuse or harrassment, so that's the severity of it.
What exactly is the nature of this "abuse or harassment"? If it is verbal, it is quite likely that it is not criminal. There is no crime of "harassment" in CA. If he has physically assaulted her, then the police may have something to go on.
