- A little old lady down the street is a not a risk.
- A scorned ex who managed to get the police at your door IS A RISK.
Let me ask another way, what makes you think he even needs to interact with her to get arrested for something? What is to stop her from claiming he threatened her or assaulted her?
The fact you are missing is, THE POLICE STILL VISITED HIM. Why did they visit him over a facebook post?
Your default assumption is that he is not telling the full story
because you have fully discounted what policy is regarding men/women violations.
Do yourself a favor and look up
VAWA to better understand the mandatory arrest portion. And yes that means the man gets arrested.

This right here is where you are missing things. It absolutely means something because he WILL be arrested and his name WILL get plastered all over the papers and the public WILL judge him guilty, ALL BEFORE A TRIAL.
Again, you are young so you are at a disadvantage here, but familiarize yourself with the
VAWA act and better understand that it has a mandatory arrest policy, regardless of evidence.
