Black And Fiance Arrested For Domestic Abuse

Posted on: February 10, 2012 at 5:32 a.m.

Famed pornography actress Tori Black and her fiancé were both arrested on charges of domestic violence late last month after an argument in the couple's Las Vegas hotel room allegedly got physical. Black, whose real name is Michelle Chapman, was in town for the AVN (Adult Video News) awards in which the actress was nominated for a past performance, though she did not win. Black admitted to local law enforcement agents that she had been drinking when she returned to the hotel room she was sharing with her fiancé, Lyndell Anderson, and their five-month-old baby. The couple began arguing over formula for the baby when Anderson allegedly called Black an unfit mother and the argument escalated. Black admitted punching her fiancé in the back of the head, then claimed that he shoved her into a wall. Video surveillance footage from the hotel's hallway confirmed her account. Both Anderson and Black were arrested for domestic battery.

If you have been arrested for domestic violence, you need an experienced and skilled Los Angeles Domestic Violence Attorney right away. At Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin, LLP, our attorneys have over five decades of collective experience in dealing with domestic abuse charges and we know how to fight for you and win. Your attorney knows that the best defense is one that is aggressive and that begins right away. Your attorney can tell you that domestic violence can be either a felony or misdemeanor criminal offense depending on the circumstances and how much damage or injury occurred. Being convicted of misdemeanor domestic abuse can subject you to probation, mandatory counseling such anger management classes, fines, restitution to the victim and up to one year in jail. An experienced lawyer knows that if you are convicted of felony domestic violence, you are facing several years in a state prison. An capable law firm can also tell you that even if the victim of domestic abuse decides not to press charges against you, you may still be charged with a criminal offense if investigators in the case decide there is enough evidence to proceed. If you are facing charges of domestic violence, call us at 1-877-781-1570 to speak about your case and begin preparing your defense.
