And an update on Judah.

I've been quiet about things with Judah for a reason: I didn't want to tip him off. But I have confirmation from my lawyer that he's been served, so now let's talk

Good luck with this. *hugs and support*

Good luck, hugs, support as needed.

Wow. Just...wow. I have a very difficult time seeing how he could possibly get out of this! Why do you think he'd even try? You know how everything works, you know the resources, you know the rules and the processes. It's like trying to put a virus on the PC of a computer programmer, or burgle the house of a policeman.

Thinking good thoughts for you, and sending strength.

We imagine that he was very deep in his narrative and didn't think I'd actually report him...

As far as not settling right away, I've very curious to know why he's suddenly being represented by a different lawyer. It's possible that the first one told him this was unwinnable and he went for a second opinion? The new lawyer hadn't reviewed the case last my lawyer checked, hence the plea for extra time.

I'm sorry- but not surprised- that the DA won't place criminal charges.

I admire you very much for pursuing a civil suit, and I hope that gets you compensation that is totally deserved.

Yep. Likewise unsurprised, but... I had to try.

Missed this when you first posted it, just saw this via a link from a much more recent post by minkrose. Thanks for that article about why people may choose civil rather than criminal charges. Although it never occurred to me to think that someone going for a civil trial should not be believed because of that choice, the article describes some possible reasons for that choice that I hadn't thought of or been aware of before.

It is a very good article!
