this is close to my heart i was beaten up by my x partner on the 4th july 2007 after catching him with another woman ,but i managed to contact the police after the assault. the police and crown prosecution service pressed charges against him and im happy to say that he was found guilty of the severe beating of me 2 days ago in court. so ladies dont think no-one cares because they do. i had great help from both the police and the witness service they are a credit to the u k . dont put up with violence of any kind.
