The courts and restraining orders are there to protect you, despite the obvious lies you appear to believe about his 'connections'. You risk nothing by seeking a restraining order. Either take action to protect yourself, or continue to suffer abuse. Contact me if you decide to do the right thing.

Obtaining (or even just seeking) a restraining order can never be the basis of a slander judgment. Your ex can, however, potentially sue you for other statements you have made or that he claims you have made about him. If your application for a restraining order is denied he can then sue you for abuse of process, but he would have to prove your complaint was groundless and that is hard to do.
Try not to be intimidated by this man's threats. Such behavior is precisely what restraining orders are designed to address. If you think his personal connections make this situation unique, you should consult one-on-one with a local attorney.
Good luck.
