My jurisdiction is: Ohio
I recently ended a relationship with a man who was cheating on me while using my credit cards and promising to pay me back, etc. Upon finding out about his other woman, I sent him to live with her. He sent me a few angry, threatening text messages which I reported to the local police. He has a questionable background, and I was concerned he could turn violent. We continued to communicate to work out logistics. We discussed the vast amount of money he owed me (I found out he had no intention of paying me back and all promises were empty), and I decided to pursue him legally in an attempt to get some of the money owed. Before I could begin, he contacted his local PD and accused me of phone harassement. I was warned by an officer not to contact him again. Four days later, I wrote a polite text offering one last time to settle things without litigation. I got a summons a week later charging me with an M1.
The complaint reads that I "repeatedly telephoned and text messaged" the complaintant after I was told not to by himself and the PD. Is this perjury on his part? Would they need phone records to prove this? Do all points of the complaint have to be proven true for me to be convicted?
Thanks
