TIL if your girlfriend files a police report against you, even once, you can successfully sue them for harrassment.

So falsely filing that someone is violent is harassment? I see how it's a crime, but harassment seems like an odd classification. Can you clarify?

Why is the $10K relevant? How is "bleeding someone dry" a good thing?

The only important thing is that a false police report is identified as such. You don't want innocent people, male or female, having false accusations on record.

You make it sound like we'd be thrilled to hear about a way to "fuck those bitches". That isn't the case at all. We just want men and women to be treated equally under the law. We don't want to take anything away from women, we just want to make sure men have all the same stuff.

This reeks of a troll account.

Troll, go away. Unless he had something from her in writing admitting she falsely filed a police report, there is not a snowball's chance in hell of winning. No attorney would ever take a case like this on a contingency fee, which means he would have had to spend more than 10K in litigation fees to obtain a civil judgment at trial. Which he then would have had to pay to collect. Your entire story reeks.

i'm sure it depends on the fact scenario and jurisdiction. if he had very strong evidence of harassment, like a text saying "i am going to file a police report against you out of spite", then yeah. in your standard he said / she said situation, maybe not.

Sounds to simple to me, I have a very hard time believing this. My ex filed no less than a dozen false police reports against me, each time I went to the county prosecutor and filed a complaint against her for filing false police reports, and every time I filed a complaint the prosecutor came back and said that there was not enough evidence to charge her. It leads me to believe that women have a special unspoken immunity from being prosecuted for filing false reports because it is better to error on the side of caution due to the "fact" that the man is always the primary aggressor.
