A similar thing happened to a good friend of mine, he worked for a 'bully' for nearly 10 years and began to believe his own lack of worth and that his was a hopeless case. This bully wasn't violent however but a clever manipulator and his verbal abuse was appalling.
My friend looks back now wondering why on earth he stayed so long.
Firstly well done for leaving, that took guts and also well done for having a rant now. My friend bottles his emotions up and the experience haunted him for many years after. A little therapy won't do any harm at all if just to settle in your mind that it was him and not you that created this awful experience. It is up to you if you wish to prosecute but you would need clear evidence and witnesses, this would be a long drawn out process. If you have evidence however - go for it!
Good luck.
