You can sue him for what he did to you, but since he lives with his Mom and is facing jail how much money does he have? Why would you sue his Mom? For giving you a place to stay? Your biggest problem appears to be that you let him know over and over that he was free to hit you and you would not do anything about it. That was your message to him. You need to get away from them, and stay away from them, other than cooperating with the prosecutors to see that he is put away for a while.
