Shelter Helps Out Male Victims of Domestic Violence

'CORPUS CHRISTI -- The Women's Shelter of South Texas helps more than 3,000 victims of domestic violence each year. Most of them are women. But the shelter also has services for men.

So far, they've seen 22 men this year, but, the likelihood is, there are a lot more out there, suffering in silence.

Men are less likely to be victims of domestic violence, but when they are, they're also less likely to report it. That's a problem, since domestic violence against anyone can turn deadly in an instant.

"Its embarrassing you know to say I got beat up by a girl," domestic violence victim Terry Samuels told us.

But he is sharing his story of abuse tonight, hoping another deadly case of domestic violence doesn't happen simply because a man is too embarrassed to report it.

One example came just a few weeks ago on August 10th, when police say 24-year-old Freddy Ayala died from violently during a fight with his pregnant girlfriend.

She ran him over in the parking lot of a bar on Leopard.'
