My girlfriend and I were going to rough time in our relationship. She was emotionally distraught and long story short, she had sex with one of her friends at college. She regretted it, called me the next day, and told me what happened.
I meet up with my girlfriend and I see her neck. It's completely bruised. It looked like someone had chocked her really hard. She tells me it's a hicky. (I have pictures if that would even help)
At this point, I'm boiling with anger. I wasn't mad at my girlfriend, I was mad at the guy who took advantage of the situation and used it to have sex with someone who clearly wasn't thinking straight emotionally.
The guy wanted to meet up with my girlfriend and talk things out. To tell her to get over me. I didn't want to leave her alone with this guy, so we decided on me staying in the car while they talked things out. When the guy comes, he has a friend with him hiding behind one of the cars. They don't realize that I can clearly see him.
My girlfriend and the guy talk for about 30 mins and out of frustration, I decided to walk up to them. I brought a stick with me only for self defense because it was 2 vs 1. I had no intentions of hurting anyone and no one was physically hurt.
I exchange words with him, as my girlfriend is pushing me away and telling me to get back to the car, and after about 3 mins, I leave the area and go back to my car.
He now wants to take legal actions. That I had threatened him and assaulted him.
Would what I did be considered as assault? If so, what are my chances in this case?
