You should discuss the facts of this case in a free private phone conversation with counsel. There may be several remedies that you can seek. In addition to filing a civil restraining order against your abuser, you may file a lawsuit against both your perpetrator and any other person who knew or should've known about the misconduct and failed to take actions to stop it.
