Um [Music] we we were together for like four years and the whole time it was really abusive. >> Um a year ago probably I had a restraining order and his sister contacted me forcing me to like get rid of it because it was ruining his like way to get jobs and stuff. And then after that he started like showing up at my job. he started showing up like everywhere I was with my friends and then he showed up at my house one night and then um him and my brother got into a fight and so now he's trying to press charges against my brother saying my brother jumped him and all of this and so he was telling me that if my brother was stupid about it he did it in front of like cameras after he showed up to my house he he told my dad that if my dad paid him off he would finally leave me alone so that's what my dad did and And then um he didn't leave me alone anymore. And then he told me that on February 24th, which is our court date, that if my brother paid him for at least the hospital bills or something like that, he wouldn't press charges against my brother as long as I was continuously like talking to him and like with him. So I was like, "Okay, like whatever." Like as long as it like keeps my brother from getting charges because he's been trying to get a job and he's 23. like, you know, like I don't want to his future because he was trying to defend me and my own bad decisions with an ex-boyfriend. >> And then today, um I wanted to hang out with my cousins cuz I haven't seen my cousins since 2 months because for the past 2 months he's been blackmailing me, telling me that like all this stuff. And so I was like, "Okay." Um I was like, "Is it okay like if I go to this Bollywood night with like my cousins and see some people like blah blah blah?" And he was like he was like going off on me. He was like you're a you're a you just want to go to meet guys blah blah blah.

I'm just saying you should file you should file that report if you have evidence of that. >> Mhm. >> With Glen View. >> Mhm. because then that would help the case against your brother, you know. >> But he just broke my entire phone. >> I know. But you can always get phone records as long as you They can always subpoena that from the phone company. >> Okay. >> They're they're always there. Trust me. >> Okay. >> So, you can always get those messages back. >> Um, >> and then today I was just >> But as long as you know those text messages came through, then you can file the report and say, "Look, if you subpoena these text messages, that's what you'll see him blackmailing me." >> You have an iPhone, too, right? >> Yeah. You have an iPhone? >> I do. Yes. >> Does he? >> Yes, he does. >> It's all iMessage then. So, as soon as you get a new phone, it'll it'll be back. >> Well, he completely broke. I can show you. I took the pieces of my phone. >> No, but so >> that he [ __ ] threw at my face also. >> How did the physical argument happen? I mean, the physical altercation happened right now. >> Um because I was asking him to leave me alone and I said, "If you can just stop." I was So, I came back in the room. We were all fine. Um, my cousin and her boyfriend came in the room. I gave her a gift that one of my other cousins gave to give to her. We were perfectly fine. >> Everybody was in the room. >> Yeah. >> Including him. >> Yeah. It was me, him, and them two. >> We were perfectly fine. And then they left. And then he was just like he was like, "So, what were you doing at the party?" And I was like, "Okay, well, I wasn't actually doing anything like you know." Um, and I really didn't do anything. I just maybe I flirted with one person, but >> I already knew I didn't want to be >> this party right here. He was so he wasn't he wasn't with you over there? >> He wasn't >> because he's not Indian. He wouldn't understand like the music culture. And then he's just going off on me. He's like, "You're a only reason you went is cuz you went to go get by another guy." And I was like, >> "Okay, well, he's been my only body for the four years that I've known him. So, it's not possible." Like, you know what I mean? It's just like if you if you >> guys were you guys heard this >> by then. I dropped my left. >> Yeah, they left by then and it got like super heated and I was just very pissed. And I was like, "Okay, leave me alone for like 10 minutes so I can cool down because I'm angry at this point. Like you're accusing me and telling me like things about myself that I'm not." >> Mhm. >> You know, and this is like Is he staying in that room right now? >> Well, yeah. He's drunk. He can't go home. Oh, well that's my room, so he shouldn't be able to stay in there from the first of all cuz I paid for it. >> Well, the thing is is we you we have a ride for you right now. >> Yeah, I know. But that's what I mean. Like he he like he made me pay for the room. He said the only way you can go is if you pay for a room. So I know you're not going to go to another room to another guy. The only way you can even go is if like you come back back by 12. But my cousins didn't get here until like what 12:00. So he was like, "Fine, you can go for an hour." By the time I got back, he got into a he was just heated. He was drinking his Coronas. Um he was doing perks in there. He was taking so like I don't know. And then by the time I got in there, I'm hiding under the sink in the bathroom. And that's how when he started breaking my phone because I called them and I'm I'm I'm screaming and I'm asking him for help. He took my phone and he broke it continuously. He just kept shattering it. And I was and I and then at that point I was like, "Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I was just like, "I'll stop. I'll stop." And then when I finally stopped and like I was just agreeing with everything he was telling me to do, he was just like he was telling me like I forced him to do this. Like I made him this way and like the reason he broke my phone is because I because of the way I was acting and like because I freaked out and like if I didn't like yell at him and tell him that I needed time to myself, he wouldn't have hit me. He was like me on the bed. He was I couldn't even breathe. He took the pillow. He put it over my face and it was just like a whole bunch of and I ran into the bathroom. I tried to lock the door and the door wouldn't lock and he ran in and he kept going. He broke my bowl. He broke my phone. I was bleeding everywhere. He was being on my hands. If you go in the room and see the tub, there's blood everywhere in the tub. >> Okay, but like how how did it first like how did it first kick off? Like >> he just he was just mad because I asked him to leave me alone. >> And where where was your position in the room? like where were >> um by the AC. >> Okay. >> Then I was right by the window like I mean not the mirror. I was sitting not on the bed but on the floor because for me like when I get anxiety or I freak out I go on the floor. >> So that's where I was sitting and all my stuff was under the bench right under the mirror that's right next to the AC. >> I see it. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So he was just arguing with you uh verbally and while you were on the floor >> and he was standing up >> kept asking him to leave me alone. He got mad and he got frustrated and he kept grabbing me. >> Grabbing like how like I don't like he would grab me. He would pull my hands. It's not the first time that I've been involved with the police with him because it's been 4 years. I I He was 19 when I met him and I was 16. So I'm 21 now and he's 23 and he's about to be 24 and that's how it's been. >> Hitting or saying anything? They were just screaming. So, okay. The guy was talking and the girl was screaming. >> You don't know what she was. >> I don't know what I can't listen. When I when I call both are decent when closer call and other people say these people are start but so the first time you called they were fine they were quiet. >> Yes. >> Both of them there was no screaming. >> Five to six time I called there. >> Oh wow. >> Both are okay okay okay. We are not screaming or I say I will call the police. I I am giving you last warning but say okay okay okay but in the last time when I call so these are people who did not receive my call and hang up. So what was she saying the other times? >> The girl said to me, "I apologize. Sorry, I am not feeling sorry." >> She was like out of control. We didn't know she was having a mental breakdown or someone was hurting her. That's why he said, "You better do something here. This isn't just regular." Seems like she had a lot of chances to get out. >> At one point I heard the door open. She went out. I looked at the people. He's He brought her back in. I don't know.

She came back from the party drunk. >> Mhm. Uh started arguing with me about something stupid cuz I didn't care about meeting her cousin. I told her, she said, "I want you to meet my cousin." I was like, "I didn't really give a like I don't care." And she's like, "What do you mean?" This and that. I started spazzing out about that and she's like, "Well, you don't care about anything.

It's Trent, prior deputy sheriff, patrol sergeant, and K9 handler. I've been to a lot of domestic violence related calls during my time in law enforcement and there are a lot of commonalities when it comes to dealing with these types of incidents. Now, for the first portion of this video, nobody wants to cooperate or say what happened, right? The girl and her boyfriend both have visible injury. There obviously was something physical that occurred there. That's common sense and very obvious. However, depending on where you're at, meaning domestic violence laws can differ from state to state in terms of what law enforcement is legally allowed to take action on. Sometimes, more often than not, you are going to need a cooperative victim in these situations, and these officers don't have that. So theoretically, if she never provided them with a statement and nobody said anything, they were just going to have to leave. And you can't force somebody to want to be a victim of domestic violence. They have to want to cooperate on their own and they have to want that help for themselves. And eventually, she does provide a statement. Then at that point in time, it's the job of these cops to interview both parties extensively since they both have visible injury and then determine who was the primary aggressor in the situation, who started this entire thing. And ultimately they determined that was her boyfriend and the marks on his body were likely the result of her trying to defend herself when he was holding her down, preventing her from screaming and everything else that he did to her. I can't say that for a matter of fact, but I'm going to go ahead and assume that that was the case. And then it sounds like there's a lot of other crimes that have been occurring as well, mainly extortion or blackmail where her boyfriend had been extorting her father as well as her brother. Then you have the boyfriend's sister that was calling her and it sounded like essentially threatening her allegedly to drop that restraining order, which can potentially be a crime. It depends on the circumstances there as well. But there's a lot of other things here that need to get investigated. However, it is very common for these types of calls and incidents to go unreported to law enforcement for a wide variety of reasons. for fear of physical retaliation. There's a huge mental and psychological element that goes into these things as well where the suspect will manipulate, gaslight, and play a huge mental game with the victim for sometimes years on end. And that will definitely alter someone's way of thinking. And sometimes they will tell the victim that something bad or worse will happen to them physically if they are to cooperate or contact law enforcement or tell their family about what's going on. Especially if it's a younger couple, they're immature. they don't have a lot of experience or a good family support system, then more often than not, they're not going to be reporting these types of things. And that's going to be it for this one. See you guys in the next one. >> He was charged with aggravated domestic battery.
