Have you filed a complaint with his department? Have you pressed criminal charges? Have you filed for a domestic violence protection order? Had you considered making a public records request for any discipline actions in his personnel file? There are a variety of ways you can put pressure on. If you do file a complaint with his department, put it in writing and deliver it to the chief if possible.
