Ex Boyfriend Carved Cumdump Into Me And Harassed And Intimidated Me For A Full Year After

Hi, I’m hoping to gain some confidence on this case. I’m based in Colorado, and I’ve done a little bit of research myself. The actual crime happened over a year ago, but he admitted in writing to having done it— he just claimed it was “consensual”. In my shocked and traumatized state I didn’t have the energy to go after him, and we’d been friends and partners for 3 years total. He was under the influence of alcohol when it occurred, but told me that he intended to ruin me for other men. Since then he’s harassed me over email and stalked my social media while I pleaded with him to just leave me alone to grieve in private. He threatened me with legal action on his end and even claimed he had “built a case” against me. The statute of limitations for assault and battery is now up, but I have forensics and photos still from that night done by a trauma nurse and obviously verbal admission of guilt from him (again, he was using it to intimidate me into thinking he had the upper hand and that nobody would believe I didn’t “consent”) I also have multiple occasions where he threatened me in writing when I refused to consent to certain other sexual acts, and even times he threatened me, unprompted and unprovoked, for things that weren’t my fault. I’m not sure that I have a great case for a protection order but I’m working with a domestic violence shelter and speaking with a victim advocate soon. I just wonder if criminal charges would be asking too much and if I should go the civil suit route, and if this case would count as a Tort; in particular outrageous conduct. If he did begin a legal process with the intention of intimidating me and wasn’t lying, could he also be hit with malicious abuse of process? He’s a pretty horrible person and I spent a year pleading with him to understand the distress he caused me by continuing to follow up and try to manipulate me and I’m so sick of it and want to put it behind me. I think he was trying to waste fucking time until the statue of limitations was up and I do fear that may be the case if I try to hit him for just the assault itself, but I’m wondering if I may still have good odds with the context and circumstances. Also, during our relationship, I have a lot of proof of him intimidating me by showing me “erotic writing” about how sexually gratifying it is to watch women die, and forcing me to engage with bestiality under verbal threat of bodily harm, so I do think that the case would fall under the definition of outrageous conduct and give me more time to file the suit.
