Star Arvizo arrested

[soulmum]

Trial has just started.

Here is what Star did:

- The abuse had been going on for sometime. Both physical and mentally before the night it took a turn for the worst.

- He was nice initially but is a manipulator who had everyone fooled (family and friends).

- Abuse took place privately. Physically and mentally.

- Forced her to trim her hair.

- If she got on his wrong side he'd pull her hair, stop her moving, hold her down or hold her to a wall and grab objects from her such as her phone and and touch personal parts of her body.

- After each time he abused her he promised to change, but never did.

- When they were around other people, he'd put on the facade of being a great person.

The night things took a turn for the worst:

- He forced her into a car after he'd been drinking.

- She asked to let her leave the vehicle, he refused. He drove away drunk, with her in the car. She tried to use a phone to ring somebody to save both herself and he.

- In response to this he smashed her head against the interior of the car. He held her head tightly and left her grasping for breath. This resulted in head trauma which prevented her doing every day things. She was hospitalised due to her injuries.

- She was found by the way side by a member of law enforcement bruised and bleeding.

- The officer gave her kind words. Without him she feels she'd of still been with Star and eventually possibly dead!

- The girl suffered injuries which prevented her from walking for a couple of days, unable to attend school for a couple of weeks and she was unable to eat and drink for three days.

- There were witnesses to what he did. He was abusing her verbally even whilst a call to 911 was taking place.

The aftermath:

- She suffers mentally due to what he did. Bad memories, insomnia and trust issues.

- She has been seeing a counsellor for nearly a year.

- She blamed herself, but thankfully has now seen it isn't her fault at all.

- She states he wasn't raising properly).

Eleven years after pop-star sensation Michael Jackson was acquitted of child molestation charges following a 14 week trial that commanded worldwide media attention, accuser Gavin Arvizo appeared once again in court — chiefly as a character witness for his brother, Star, who was on trial in Charles County Circuit Court Thursday and Friday for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend in October.


Facing two counts of second degree assault, Star David Arvizo, 25, of Lorton, Va., was acquitted as charged after a jury returned its verdict Friday evening. Star, who was a critical witness in the 2005 Jackson trial, was accused of attacking his former girlfriend on Halloween night, about a week after he was alleged to have violently grabbed her as she tried to exit his car.
