The subject of "Domestic Abuse" has gotten very serious over the last 10-15 years. It doesn't take much to get charged and a Victim Protection Order (VPO) is usually not far behind.
It's usually the female party that causes the arrest to occur with just a verbal complaint that violence has occured, but the law works both ways. I'm seeing more men pressing charges than I used to.
I sit back and laugh at the old John Wayne movies like McClintock where he grabs his ex-wife, Maureen O'Hara, throws her across her lap and spanks her with a coal shovel. He'd go to prison for that nowadays.
Times change.
