How is an allegation considered false? This is where things start to get messy. I have mentioned before that law enforcement seem to take almost a default position when attending to a call for domestic violence.
In some situations men have reported that their female partner was physically attacking them, by punching, kicking and scratching their face. Worse, where some have had knives, broken plates and other items thrown at them. In some situations men have reported trying to leave only for their female partner to block the entrance. In the process, the male forcefully opens the door and the female loses balance and falls to her feet and sustains an injury. The female partner decides to call 911. On attending at the scene the police officers immediately notice she has a bruise to her face and presume the worse.
Some situations men have reported that while their female partner was physically assaulting them, they pushed her back so they could leave the situation. In some situations, the male partner has not even touched the female partner. In some situations even before the argument escalates the female partner threatens to call 911 and report that, “you hit me, and you know what they will do.”
In some situations the female partner will be verbally assaulting the male partner. Putting him down, calling him worthless or not a man. While this type of verbal assault would be considered as emotional domestic abuse when perpetrated by a man it is not the same situation when it is the female partner.
It seems that in many situations where men have been falsely accused of domestic violence it is in fact them who is real victim.
Even in situations where the allegation of domestic violence against the man seems illogical and lacking any credibility law enforcement will refuse to pursue any criminal charge against the false accuser.
Since, pursuing criminal charges against the false accuser is a rarity there is little if any repercussions.
Going through the criminal process is not fun. Many men who have been charged with domestic violence grow tired of the system and expenses and end up making the dangerous decision of pleading guilty to put the matter to rest. This can end up having serious consequences later on.
