Serious advice? If you've managed to get out, then STAY out. Ultimately, injustice or not, you cannot force the system do to something. If the DA thinks they can make the case, they'll pursue it. If they don't (due to insufficient evidence, among many other possibilities), then they won't. It certainly doesn't make a case their number one priority if there have been past problems with the victim being uncooperative in trying to hold the offender accountable. Getting a lawyer won't help you in this situation - the STATE, on behalf of victims, is the one who decides if charges will be brought. A private attorney COULD assist you if you were suing him for things like injuries, pain and suffering, damaged property, time lost from work and things of that nature. But in the realm of criminal charges, it's the DA's ball game.
