"But you never arrested me before for kicking someone's ass!!??!!" is not a valid defense in court. What if a rookie cop gets the call and doesn' know the protocol? What if some guy is trying to make quota? What if a new police policy has gone into effect and you don't know about it? Are you willing to risk your freedom on a HOPE that you won't get arrested.

Here it is, plain and simple: This is not your problem. It is her problem and his problem. It is her choice to pursue punishment, not yours. It is too late for her to do an effective rape test, and due to the alcohol involved (I assume), it would be virtually impossible to get a conviction on testimony alone.

Your attack on him and subsequent arrest may result in a felony conviction. This could result in a prison sentence and, most certainly, loss of employment as a computer programmer. You are far too young to start off your professional career on such a wrong foot, when you have so much potential.

Take the high road: Tell him you don't appreciate the abuse he placed on your friend and that he is no longer welcome in your house or your life. Support her if she needs it and move on.
