A woman who accused her partner of domestic violence was filmed hitting him and pooping on his belongings, it was claimed. Prosecutors in Crown Point, Indiana, filed a motion to dismiss charges against Michael Brown, 36, Tuesday after being given the disturbing clips by Brown’s attorneys.

They are said to show Brown’s unnamed accuser hitting him in front of children on numerous occasions, and defecating on his things during another incident. One clip seen shows the woman slapping Brown while a child screams, and he breathlessly begs her to stop.

Another video shows them arguing in a car, with the woman hitting Brown as he drives and a child in the back of the car says ‘Mommy.’ The woman screams at Brown for not buckling the child into a car seat, and then slaps him when he pulls over to do so. Prosecutor Bernard Carter said the clips had undermined his team’s ability to bring a case against Brown, who is the recorder for Lake County, Indiana.



His deputy Barbara McConnell added: ‘The state of Indiana cannot prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt due to recently acquired evidence, additional information and the lack of full cooperation by the complaining witness.’ Brown was charged with eight felonies on February 10, including domestic battery on a pregnant woman, criminal confinement and neglect of a dependent.

But now his attorney Michael Woods has claimed that Brown is the victim of his accuser’s violent behavior.

Brown’s accuser has claimed he abused her, then began filming as she responded. She has refused to meet with prosecutors, and denies any wrongdoing.

The woman was sent a letter by Prosecutor Carter and his team saying: ‘We asked you to tell us anything and everything that we needed to know to help us to move forward in this matter even if it may reflect poorly on you.

‘We have since received four different videos showing you engaged in conduct that is of great concern.’

The woman also told NWI Times that she and her children are the victims in the case. She claimed Brown hit her, kicked a door in, and shoved his fingers in her mouth to give her a ‘Joker smile’.
