QUESTION
What can I do to keep us both out of trouble?
Asked on Aug 13th, 2013 on Personal Injury - South Carolina
More details to this question:
I filed two different police reports on my children's father but I added some detailed lies to make him seem a lot worse then me. What do I do because the last one is making him face up to 45 years in prison and he does not deserve that. What do I do because all I'm getting told is that abused woman always deny abuse but he never put his hands on me, I put my hands on him.

You need to speak with a lawyer. The lawyer would probably contact the police and arrange for a "corrected" copy of the incident report to be filed. If you do it yourself, you would be waiving your 5th amendment right against self-incrimination.

You go to the prosecutor with the victim's rights counselor and tell the truth.

Tell the truth! Write to your children's father (and his attorney) and the prosecutor a letter saying what actually happened, and that not everything you said previously was true.

If you have lied under oath or to the police then you may be in trouble. If I were you I would hire the best criminal lawyer in town and ask him to go to the police and DA and try to soft pedal the thing/ at some point you ought to tell the truth and in the future don't try to abuse the system as lot of wives and girlfriends do that every day. Judges and Das don't like women to abuse the system and waste court time to punish the men.

Get an experienced criminal defense attorney in your area. You will have to admit to filing a false report, and there will be consequenses, but it will be a lot less trouble than if you do nothing. Usually, filing a false report results in a fine and community service, possibly parole if you have a record.

All I know for you to do is to tell the truth the prosecutors and in court if it goes to trial.
