Charges of Domestic Assault and Battery and Violation of a Restraining Order Against Physician Dismissed

The defendant is a physician practicing in Boston and living in a nearby suburb. Last year he was involved in a tumultuous relationship with a woman. The relationship ended somewhat peacefully. The woman made several attempts to reconcile, all of which the defendant rejected. In February of this year the woman went to the defendant’s home under the pretext of getting some belongings back. Our client had none of the items. The woman tried to discuss the relationship with the defendant. He refused and asked her to leave. She then asked if she could use his bathroom before leaving. He agreed to let her. From the bathroom she began to scream and call the police. Officers arrived and interviewed the victim who claimed that our client had beat her causing her to lock herself in the bathroom. He was charged with domestic assault and battery under G.L. c. 265 section 13M. The woman also took out a 209A restraining order. The next day she claimed that our client violated the restraining order by going to her home. Attorney Neyman was hired. Using a GPS system on the defendant’s phone and accessing scores of text messages our office was able to convince the judge and the district attorney’s office that the woman had lied. All charges were dismissed.
