I was arrested for possession of mdma, it was a foolish dumb thing I did in college. I had only used it one time and took half of a pill, while the other half was in my trunk. I wasnt doing anything wrong when arrested, but when I got pulled over for running a stop sign (which I actually did not even run but whatever) they asked to search my car. I allowed them to. I didnt know I had the rest of the pill in the car. It's not that big of a deal, I have learned alot from it.
But around this same time my friend asked me to borrow $2,000 to pay his rent. I loaned it to him, my best friend at the time. We agreed on repayment within two weeks, but I was blocked two days after and he would not speak to me. Several months go by and I keep calling him about it- but by this point he hates me and would text me "I hope you die" and "I'm going to ruin your life and embarrass you so nasty." Well, he did. He filed an injunction for protection against me (restraining order) without even paying me back. He filed a title ix complaint with my university, which I was not held responsible for. The case just never reached any resolution and was left pending, which I assume they decided not to pursue this. Which is what I am going to say in my application. He also filed a police report against me, he filed many police reports actually trying to get me in trouble and avoid repayment... Then he finally paid me back and filed another restraining order, despite me having no care to talk to this person again. Both restraining orders were denied by the judge and she thought he was ridiculous. Finally, I was arrested for aggravated stalking like 6 months later due to a police report he filed months before. I was never contacted by a police officer and the charges were based off of his word without me being privy to any charges. The police officer mishandled the complaint. The case was ultimately dismissed after 25,000 attorneys fees.
All of these proceedings ended in my favor, they all contained ALOT of falsified evidence. This person really wanted to see me burn. But I was confident in the truth, and I easily showed the courts that there was no way I did anything I was being accused of. My whole life, I have never been in any kind of trouble and i'm someone who always follows the rules, i'm a good kid. This was really hard for me. But when evaluating all these proceedings on my application, I just look like i'm lying about everything and all these charges and cases put together do not look good at all. Do I even have a chance? Should I keep trying?? I dont want to allow this guy to have ruined my future like he threatened to do, but i'm struggling to figure this out and present myself in the best way possible. What can I do to approach this in the most professional way possible? How do law schools and the bar look at false accusations? It just seems wrong to even have to put any of this on my application when I truly did not do anything wrong. At the time, I really tried to remove myself from the situation entirely and stayed away from "harassing" this guy for the money,especially after the way he treated me. But over time, it just enabled him to aggressively weaponize litigation and accuse me even worse. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
