:confused: My husband is being accused of harassment. He has worked for a woman for two years fixing her house. About 6m ago she started getting mean and cruell calls from her neighbor. He even said his name on the tapes when he was cussing her out. Now since my husband has been working for her for two years they are kind of friends. She would call us every day. If she didn't then my husband called her about work. She started calling us saying she was scared of her neighbor and what should she do. I was there when my husband told her to call the police. Long story short she went to them and they put a trap on her phone. The woman got two perverted calls, one she couldn't remember the time of and the other one she did. She never remembered to tape the convos so there is no real proof of what was said. The day of the call where she says she remembers the time, my husband called her very close to that to see if she was up so he could come over and start work. The other call also shows he called that day. He or She ALWAYS spoke practically every day. It used to drive me nuts. Now because of the time of those calls they are charging my husband with harassment. How with no proof of the calls or exact time or even if there was a call can they do this. They are telling us to just take a deal where he would go to jail for 30 days and we would pay a 4,000 fine. How can they do any of this without any real proof. Shouldn't you have some concrete evidence before you can ruin peoples lives like this? Please help any advice would be wonderful.

Get a lawyer. Of course they want you to take a deal. That way they save themselves the embarrassment of losing a case in court. Cases have been taken to court on flimsy circumstantial evidence. But without anymore proof then they have, they shouldn't be able to get a conviction.

What if we have the lawyer. We are poor so we have one of the free ones. She has so many cases she doesn't have enough time for us. Heck she called us last night to say he even had an appt. today. This has been going on for 6months now and the new case today they decided to add on another charge. That is the one where they don't have a time but just that my husband called that day. We can't afford a new one because just to start is a 1500 retainer.

Call their bluff. Tell the DA you don't think they have enough hard evidence to convince a jury. What does the women say? Does she now believe its your husband who is doing it after working for her for 2 years?

The woman says in her statement and told me as well that she never thought it was my husband. She told me she just couldn't believe it but that's what the police told her so she helped them arrest him. Now since all this time has gone by she is convinced it was my husband.

It doesn't take two years to build a house, let alone "work" on one. Something here just ain't right. Are you 100% sure it is not your husband? Is your husband afraid to take it to court? Sorry, but my suspicious nature and my gut feeling tells me you do not have all of the facts.

I would say best bet is get a lawyer. Maybe there was something that happened? Maybe magprob is right. Maybe she wanted to be more then friends when he said no, the harassment charge came. Who knows really. Whether your husband is guilty or not. Lawyer is best bet.

Why doesn't the woman in question exonerate your husband? She obviously knows he's not the one making the harassing calls.
