EXCLUSIVE: 'More Than Enough Evidence' To Charge Mel In Domestic Violence Case

There is ‘more than enough evidence’ to charge Mel Gibson in the domestic violence case being investigated by the Sherriff’s Department, a law enforcement source tells Breaking Celebrity News exclusively.
“Authorities are looking to establish a pattern of abuse,” the source told RadarOnlne.com.
“The district attorney’s office will get this case.”
Breaking Celebrity News broke the story that Mel admits on tape to hitting his baby mamma Oksana Grigorieva, telling her, “you f**king deserved it.”
Breaking Celebrity News has heard the tape.
Mel and Oksana had altercations on January 6 and in February that are being investigated. Oksana went to the authorities on Monday to file the complaint.
And despite the fact that she waited so long after the incidents to file a complaint, the law enforcement source, who is familiar with these type of incidents, told Breaking Celebrity News that it is not unusual for victims to wait before going to the police.
"Even though the alleged crime wasn't reported immediately after it happened, that doesn't negate the claims, or make them any weaker,” the law enforcement source told Breaking Celebrity News. “In fact, it could bolster the case against Mel, because there were more crimes against Oksana after the January 6th incident.
“The fact that Oksana taped Mel is the strongest evidence Oksana presented to the LASD investigators. There is more than enough evidence for Mel to be criminally charged at least with making terrorist threats against Oksana because of a reference he made to burning a house down with her in it.”
