What is the name of your state? Washington state
I was a victim of domestic violence about 1 mo ago. My boyfriend of 2 years physically hurt me. I made a police report, they took pictures of my arms (and later of the bruises), but they were unable to arrest him because he left (4 hour arrest window). I know within the next month or so he will get a notice to appear in court over the charges of 4th degree assult. Problem is, since it is his first offense, he'll probably just get probation or told to go to a therapist. I am wondering if I can sue him for damages.
