Reported a man for domestic violence and ended up detained for alleged false report

Notícias de Coimbra9 September 2026 at 12:49

A 21-year-old woman was detained by the PSP after filing a domestic violence report against a man. The detention occurred after authorities concluded that the report filed by the young woman was false.

The woman ended up being confronted with a charge of alleged false reporting, reversing the situation in which she herself had been the complainant. Authorities considered there was no evidence that the man had committed any domestic violence crime.

The case raises questions about the reporting process and how authorities assess the veracity of complaints filed. The young woman remained detained following the charge of alleged false reporting.

Lawyer convicted for attempted homicide against ex-wife, who was saved by gun safety lock and heroic waiter

Lawyer Matthew Exton, 43, was convicted of attempted homicide, aggravated assault and firearms crimes after storming a restaurant in Ohio, United States, to attack his ex-wife. The crime occurred on April 11, 2025, when Exton spotted his ex-wife having dinner with family, spat toward the table and then returned armed to attack her. The tragedy was avoided because the attacker forgot to disengage the pistol's safety lock, which was loaded, and a waiter acted quickly by tackling him, allowing customers and staff to restrain him. The sentencing hearing is scheduled for September 21.
