four children. Notwithstanding, he had a sexual relationship with plaintiff for a little
over two years. On the same day he assaulted plaintiff, defendant admitted himself to
the psychiatric ward In the Hershey Medical Center, where he remained until
September 11. He was diagnosed with a depressive disorder. Atter her release from
the hospital, plaintiff, notwithstanding the assault, resumed her sexual relationship
with defendant. Criminal charges that had been flied against defendant were
dismissed when plaintiff did not show up for a preliminary hearing. The parties'
relationship, however, ended on December 13. Plaintiff testified that defendant was
jealous and controlling, and started to show the same behavioral problems he had
exhibited before he assaulted her. She believed that he might attack her again.
Plaintiff has not seen defendant since December 13, although defendant sent her a
Christmas card. Defendant testified that In December he told plaintiff that he could
not continue the relationship and broke It off. 1
Plaintiff waited until February 6, 1996, to file this petition seeking relief under
the Protection from Abuse Act. Concurrently, the criminal charges against defendant
were reinstated. Defendant testified that his relationship with plaintiff Is over. He

and his ability to handle stress and negative feelings In appropriate way!>,
Under Section 6106(a), proceedings under the Protection from Abuse Aot may
be commenced, "[b)y filing a petition with the court alleging abuse by the defendant."
Under Section 6107(a), "[p)lalntlff must prove the allegation of abuse by a
preponderance of the evidence," Under Section 6108(a), "the court may grant any
protection order, , , to bring about a cessation of abuse of the plaintiff, , . ," The
primary goal of the Protection from Abuse Act Is "advance prevention of physical. , ,
abuse;" and "[t)he statute's tenor to focus on the prevention of abuse In the generic
sense," Snyder v. Snyder, 427 Pa, Super, 494 (1993), In order to obtain a protective
order, a plaintiff must show that defendant has engaged In misconduct a8 defined
by the Act, that the defendant and the victim were family or household membors,2
and that the defendant satisfies the Act's residency requlrement.3 Yankoskle v.
Lenker, 363 Pa, Super. 448 (1987). Accordingly, since plaintiff has proven her
allegations of abuse by a preponderance of the evidence, relief under Section 6108(a)
of the Protection from Abuse Act Is warranted,
2, The definition of "Family or household members" In Section 6102(a) of the
Act, Includes "current or former sexual or Intimate partners,"
3, The residency requirement was deleted by amendments to the Protection
from Abuse Act In 1990,

A I've seen him that angry before/ but he never
hit me like that before.
Q Not like on september 1st. And you indicated
that he went to the hOKpital. Are you aware he admitted
himself to the hospital on september 1st?
A No, I was not aware of that.
Q It was at the Hershey Hospital psychiatric
unit?
A That's what I understand.
THE COUR'r: Well, she isn't aware.
BV MR. GOLDBERG:
Q And, in fact, I believe you had called him
when he was at the Hershey Hospital, isn't that right?
A About two weeks after he was there.
Q And you wanted to see how he was doing?
A I wanted to know why he beat me.
Q You indicated that even after september
1st __ oh, by the way, you did bring charges at that time on
september 1st against him for terroristic threats and simple
assault, is that right?
A The West Fairview police Department, that's
correct.
Q And there was a hearing scheduled at which
you did not attend?
A That's correct.
25
""
1 Q And you did not attend because didn't you
2 tell Mr. Taylor you really didn't want to bring charge. or

8 AVes.
9 Q November 2nd, I believe?
10 A Um-hum.
11 Q And you chose not to go to the hear ing to
12 testify, is that right?
13 A I was afraid to go to the hearing and
14 t.estity.
15 Q Okay. But even though you were afraid,
16 another complaint was signed on February the 6th, a tew days
17 ago, for the same charges?
18 A Urn-hum.
19 Q Is that right?
20 A Urn-hum.
21 Q Is there something that caused you to do that
22 at this point, bring up the same charges?
23 AVes.
24 Q What was that?
25 A In talking with corporal Taylor trom
26
1 September to early December, I thouqht the therapy he was
2 receiving was really helping. He seemed to be very
3 apologetic, very remorseful and sorry for what he had done
4 for awhile. And then two weeks before December 7th when I
5 said I just couldn't see him anymore, couldn't take it, he
6 started gettinq very suspicious, accusatory, jealous,
7 possessive, and accusinq me of things. And I CQuld just se.
8 that we were going right back to where we were before
9 September 1st.
10 Q Now, you indicated that you moved and after
11 September 1st you did not want the relationship to break up,
12 isn't that correct?
13 A That's correct, we made an attempt to
14 reconcile.
15 Q And isn't it true that you had really called
16 him on sevoral occasions and invited him over to your home
17 for dinner?
18 A Yes, I did.
19 Q And I believe, if you recall, on a sunday
20 there was a football game and you had him over for dinner?
21 A That's correct.
22 Q And then you had, at your invitation again,
23 asked him to come over several times since September 1st?
24 A I like to cook, he liked to eat, yes.
25 Q But you called him and invited him over?
27
1 A Urn-hum.
2 Q And, in faot, he didn't know your new
3 address, you had to give him your new address where you
4 moved to/ isn't that right?
5 A That's correct.
6 Q That's how he found out where you are l.1.vinq
7 now, correct?
8 A That's right.
9 Q And you say you were with him maybe 15 times
10 or so, is that right?
11 A That's correct.
12 Q And you've had sexual relations with him
13 about seven times since September 1st?
14 A That's correct.
15 Q Back at September 1st, again that incident
16 where you kept saying Corporal Taylor was saying, I didn't F
17 her, I didn't F her, you had been accusing him of doing that
18 with someone else, isn't that right, on September 1st? Is
19 that correct? Just answer instead of shaking your head.
20 A Accusing him? It was an admitted
21 relationship.
22 Q But you kept saying you're doing -- you're
23 having a relationship, you're having sex with this other
24 woman/ isn't that right?
25 A Right.
28
1 Q Bo there was an argument going on between the
2 two or you?
3 A Right. We had originally broken up in June
4 over this woman.
5 Q And that's what was going on September 1st,
6 you were telling him you are going with this other woman,
7 and he is saying he's not, and then this abuse that you
B claim happened happened?
9 A (witness nodded affirmatively)
10 Q Now, all the times that he was with you after
11 September 1st though he did not threaten you, isn't that
12 correct?
13 THE COURT: You have got to speak up, ma'am.
14 You have to say something, yes or no, or anything else. Did
15 he abuse you after September 1st -- no, that is not the
16 question. Did he threaten you after September 1?
17 BY MR. GOLDBERG:
18 Q Did he make threats to you after September
19 1st?
20 A Twice he said to me, You and I are going to
21 be together forever one way or the other. It's just going
22 to be you. It's just going to be me. We are going to be
23 together forever.

No. They range trom 15 minutes to maybe two
and a halt hours.
Q He did look different after he came out ot
the hospital, much more calm, he was under medication, is
that correct?
A That's correct.
Q And during that period of time from september
to December 7th or 12th, you really wanted the relationship
to go on and work, isn't that true?
A That's true.
30
1 Q Didn't he some time in early December, maybe
2 around ths 7th or 80, tell you it's just not working and we
3 can't have a relationship?
4 A No, he did not say that.
5 Q Later on he sent you a Christmas card. There

10 had any contact with him or none?

21 January goes by and the rest of December goes by, a month
22 and a half later, you bring criminal charges and the PFA,
23 but there was no contact for about a month and a half.

him.
