Wow...and I thought I was the only one going through something like this?
I'll go read your other post as soon as I finish this reply.
The OW in our life falsely accused me of making "abusive phone calls" to her at work. Of course, I didn't do this, but nevertheless, I was given a $300 ticket and just found out that I now have an arrest record. The city attorney was willing to drop it at the pretrial if I promised that I wouldn't contact her again. I told him that I have never contacted her and would hire an attorney to fight this. Why would I pay over $1000 to fight a measely little $300 ticket? Because I want the OW's credibility to be examined.
Why did she do this to me, you ask? Because I changed my husband's cell phone number to stop her from leaving voice messages on it.
She had done the same thing to her former "victim" in which she filed a restraining order against him and then called the police just about every day stating that he was harassing her, breaking into her house, etc. He spent over $20,000 in legal fees, yet still served 5 months in jail and 1 year of probation. His life is now thoroughly trashed. All for pleading No Contest, which his attorney advised him to do.
We have since filed a restraining order against her and it's good for 2 years. So far, it's been quiet, but I've been told by her previous victim that she will not stop. This is just the calm before the storm. That's ok, we have alot of evidence against her that will come out next Wednesday when I go back to court.
When we prove to the court that she is lying, hopefully, her previous victim can get his files re-opened and examined. We are willing to help him get his name cleared, and possibly get custody of his daughter, that the OW holds as a weapon against him.
It kind of baffles me that a person can accuse someone else of a crime with no proof, yet get away with it. The defendent ends up spending alot of money, and having his life ruined in the process while the accuser skips merrily off down the path with no consequences. All in the name of SPITE.
