The only witness was our dog! Pity he can't talk!

Slightly. I know that she has slashed the tyres of her ex boyfriends car, threatened any of her younger sisters (who she is protective of) boyfriends and says if they wrong her then they will have my fiancé to answer to.

I've never been in trouble with the Police at all.

I think that would be a fine idea if the courts did insist on this.

That's a good point actually, yes her parents know full well that the room was dark when the attack took place so there's no way that I'll be held accountable for 'knowing' where I was lashing out at.
If they do lie then it's very much a case of like mother like daughter.

I will try going round there obviously when my fiancé is out so that I don't create any further tension between us and telling them exactly what happened.
