CORAL SPRINGS, FL – When a 42-year-old woman was recently arrested for allegedly attacking her husband in Coral Springs, the incident highlighted a lesser-known issue in domestic violence cases across the nation: violence against men by their spouses and partners.
Women account for roughly 1.5 million incidents of domestic violence every year, but more than 830,000 men also fall victim to domestic violence, according to the National Violence Against Women Survey.
In the Coral Springs case, Jemny Molina was charged with battery after her husband told police that she drank roughly a bottle and a half of wine and then bit him in the left wrist, scratched and hit him, and struck him in the back with a broom handle during a fight on Dec. 27, according to a police report.
