PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon woman has sued Multnomah County for $750,000 after her ex-husband allegedly assaulted her when was released early from jail.
The Oregonian reported the woman feared her ex-husband might come after her when he was freed from custody, and was given a release date by a deputy district attorney.
But a lawsuit filed by Portland attorney Greg Kafoury claims the ex-husband was released two days early by mistake.
The suit does not name the woman or her ex-husband. But it says the man went to her home and tried to strangle her, battering her face, head and body.
