Our client is a non-citizen who is in the process of trying to become naturalized in the United States. She and her former husband have been involved in some exceedingly protracted divorce and post divorce proceedings for several years now.  She has been mercilessly manipulated by the man on countless occasions. Several months ago she was assaulted by the man and went to the police for help. Unbeknownst to her  Her ex-husband had provided police with an edited video suggesting that her police report was a lie. She was charged with filing a false police report in violation of G.L. c. 269 section 13A.  She went through several lawyers before ultimately hiring attorney Stephen Neyman to represent her.  Today, with the agreement of a very compassionate and understanding prosecutor our client was given pretrial probation pursuant to G.L. c. 276 section 87. All charges will be dismissed outright in three months.
