Hello Daniel Hernandez, it's nice to meet you! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
So as of now there is no legal issue however yesterday I got in a virtual argument with my female because she had invited my friend over for sexual orientation. She then said just wait and I believe she is going to accuse of sexual assault or harassment however, we have never had sex and we have only hung out about * times max and there is no crime that was ever committed what do I do?
Hello Daniel, I understand your concern. It's crucial to remember:
- No one can be convicted without evidence in Oregon.
- Defamation is illegal if someone falsely accuses you.
- If accused, hire a defense attorney immediately.
Avoid interacting with the person threatening you. If you receive any threats, document them.
Ok if she is threating me to accuse me for a crime can I go to the police
Yes, Daniel, if you feel threatened, you can report it to your local police department. Keep any evidence of threats you received, as it could be beneficial in your case. Remember, speaking with a defense attorney can also be helpful.

In Florida, you may qualify for a public defender if you're unable to afford one. Here's how:
- Apply through your local Public Defender's Office.
- Or, ask the court to appoint one during your first appearance.
Remember, public defenders are only available for criminal cases.

If she files a restraining order in Oregon:
- Attend the hearing and share your side of the story
- Bring any evidence that supports your case
- Consult with an attorney if possible
Remember, not responding to a restraining order can result in it being granted by default.
