Before the charges, Russell was also posting "Having to hire a mediator because we can't solve our problems like adults

" and claims it was only Skordas who made her "go for the jugular" and press criminal charges.
What was there to mediate? She was Chad's girlfriend, not Russell's, so what settlement did he expect? An agreement for them to share her every other day? A mediator couldn't give Russell what he wanted, an enforceable contract to make Erika his girlfriend, or give Erika what she wanted, a restraining order against Russell.
