Divorce attorney here. Abused women retract and it’s unfortunate, but there are a lot of fake DV allegations as well. Liars ruin it for their husbands AND for real victims. And everyone lies. All the time.

Men are only victims of DV 25% of the time. So female arrests happen, but it’s not even close to 1:1.

It’s not like there’s anything preventing her from getting those things. She can file divorce and get some of the assets. She can find her own job. If she doesn’t want to do those things, then fine. I understand DV victims recanting their statements, but can we not at least allow adults to make their own decisions, however disappointing those decisions may be to somebody outside of the situation.

He hasn't been convicted yet, but he was suspended indefinitely without pay. Doesn't that seem like a good enough response until all the facts come out and he has his day in court, or at least until the university, or the police, can conduct an investigation? Do we really want to be at the point where an accusation means someone is immediately fired? Like just telling him to stay away and not paying him isn't enough, it has to be immediate termination without any due process at all?

It also means doing what the victim wants to do about the alleged crime. If they don't want to go to the cops, or publicly accuse someone, then don't go to the cops or publicly accuse someone.

In this case, the person believes she was strangled, but because she has come out in public and said that she hasn't been (which is a common thing for DV survivors to do), they are sad to see that.
