Tuesday, Dec 15, 2015, my adult son has a pre-trial Hearing over a charge of "Unlawful Restraint" (a Class A Misdemeanor with maximum penalty of 1 year in jail). He says (& I believe him) that his girl friend (who had been drinking) was beating her head against a wall, and thus he put his arms around her to restrain her. But she has charged him with "Unlawful Restraint."
I want the Lord to remove this sword of Damocles over his head; case dismissed. Also, if my son is being chastised for unconfessed sin, that my son will repent. If the Lord must chasten him, I want it to be short, quick, & effective. But the great solution spiritually is to trust the Lord Jesus in accordance with the great prayer in Ephesians 3 which ends in being filled to all the fulness of God -- also there is the bonus of the Lord doing exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.
She had also charged him with Felony Sexual Assault, but the Grand Jury returned a NO BILL on that one. Misdemeanors in our state do not get grand juries.
Approximate Background & IMHO:
He had been shacking up with this female doctor who also did some "cheating" on him. He spent about $1,000,000 catering to her "needs," leaving himself with little money for legal defense. There is evidence that she was plotting to marry my son and thus take his money. He had started an allied field medical company, which was making a lot of money. They had a quarrel. On the night of the alleged Unlawful Restraint, she called the cops. My son left before they came. She refused to make any charges that night. But the next day apparently her brother took her to a hospital where she was given a rape kit, which produced negative results. She had marks on her arms, however; probably received in her struggle to get loose of my son or inflicted by her brother.
During the next two months after the restraint, they were still dating. And he spent the night in bed with her (no sex). She received an engagement ring from him.
But at the start of the third month, she dissed my son. Then he acted the fool pursuing her, even being escorted out of her house by the cops (no violence, tho she pulled a gun on him once). Suddenly she delivered 3 blows to my son, about 2 months after her trip to the hospital:
1) A Protective Order ex parte (issued without my son knowing about it by a kangaroo family court);
2) The day before the PO hearing, my son was arrested and put in jail on charges of sexual assault & unlawful restraint -- without a hearing. My son had befriended her brother and met him at a restaurant, where my son was arrested (trap). On the first day of the PO hearing, my son was in jail, but his lame lawyer went ahead with the hearing in his absence. Due to the pending criminal charges, my son (per lawyer advice) could not give much testimony to refute the family court complaint. Suddenly he had a protective order slapped on him which prevented him from working at the hospitals where he worked, as the doctor also allegedly worked there from time to time.
3) Immediately my son was sued by the girlfriend in an attempt to seize control of his allied medical company, she claiming that she owned 95 percent of it, based partly on her adding a clause to some document he had signed long ago, clause added after he signed it. His company attorneys were barred from representing him in the civil suit because they had done business with the girl friend in the past, & it would be conflict of interest. So my son went into court over a temporary restraining order putting the girlfriend in charge of his company -- he went into court without effective attorney, since he had lost his attorneys. She got a TRO putting her in charge! Quickly she moved $200,000 from the company account into her personal account. My son was cut off from the money he needed for defense.
About 1 week later, with a new lawyer, my son got the TRO lifted, and he was back managing his company. But the civil case continues demanding 6 million dollars from my son.
So all this looks like an extortion plot. His lawyers apparently think he should pay her off (though he has nothing to pay her with at the moment) to get the criminal case & Family cases dissolved.
The company depends on cash flow from insurance companies. Recently over $1,000,000 in insurance checks never reached my son's hands. They may have been stolen out of his mailbox, though none have been cashed. So his company is embarrassed for funds to pay employees and expenses, and his civil lawyer wants $100,000 per month to handle his case -- he was supposed to pony up $300,000 at the start of this month. And he borrowed $200,000 from an employee for other matters.
