There is ‘more than enough evidence’ to charge Mel Gibson in the domestic violence case being investigated by the Sherriff’s Department, a law enforcement source tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.

“Authorities are looking to establish a pattern of abuse,” the source told RadarOnlne.com.

“The district attorney’s office will get this case.”

RadarOnline.com broke the story that Mel admits on tape to hitting his baby mamma Oksana Grigorieva, telling her, “you f**king deserved it.”

RadarOnline.com has heard the tape.

Mel and Oksana had altercations on January 6 and in February that are being investigated. Oksana went to the authorities on Monday to file the complaint.

And despite the fact that she waited so long after the incidents to file a complaint, the law enforcement source, who is familiar with these type of incidents, told RadarOnline.com that it is not unusual for victims to wait before going to the police.

"Even though the alleged crime wasn't reported immediately after it happened, that doesn't negate the claims, or make them any weaker,” the law enforcement source told RadarOnline.com. “In fact, it could bolster the case against Mel, because there were more crimes against Oksana after the January 6th incident.

“The fact that Oksana taped Mel is the strongest evidence Oksana presented to the LASD investigators. There is more than enough evidence for Mel to be criminally charged at least with making terrorist threats against Oksana because of a reference he made to burning a house down with her in it.”

Mel is caught on audio tape not only admitting he hit Oksana, but also verbally abusing her with a string of profanities, calling her a “whore” and a “c*nt.”

RadarOnline.com has also heard that on tape.

One source says that Mel knocked out her two front teeth although Mel’s lawyer told RadarOnline.com that they had no medical evidence that happened.

In a bombshell revelation, Mel Gibson threatened to bury the mother of his love child in the rose garden of his multi-million dollar mansion, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

The Braveheart star is in  the center of a domestic violence investigation, after RadarOnline.com first revealed he was caught on tape admitting he punched Oksana Grigorieva because she “f**king deserved it”.

As we first revealed, the 54-year-old Oscar-winner also threatened to burn down Grigorieva’s home.

After RadarOnline.com revealed Mel Gibson told his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva she "f--cking deserved" to get hit, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has launched a domestic violence investigation after Oksana filed a complaint.

The investigation started on Monday when the victim made a complaint, L.A. County Sheriff spokesperson Steve Whitmore told RadarOnline.com. In the new tape recording, a teary Grigorieva can be heard asking the 54-year-old actor what he thinks he is doing hitting her while she is holding their eight-month-old child Lucia.

The allegations stem from a January incident at the actor’s Malibu mansion.

"What kind of man is that who would hit a woman while she is holding a child in her hands, hitting her twice in the face?” questions the Russian musician.

Two law enforcement specialists say RadarOnline.com’s explosive revelation that Mel Gibson admitted hitting Oksana Grigorieva because she “f--king deserved it” could be crucial to the Los Angeles Sheriff Department’s domestic violence probe into the actor.

“The tape will be crucial,” former FBI agent and private investigator Harold Copus tells RadarOnline.com. “Having the confession on tape takes it over the threshold and takes the investigation to the next step.”

“The cops will ask Oksana if it’s true and if she wants to press charges,” defense specialist Steven Cron adds. “If she does, Mel would be prosecuted for domestic violence and he would have to defend himself.”

“Until now it’s been a he-said-she-said,” Copus explains. “Now we’re getting into facts. It doesn’t look good for Mel.

“His lawyers will do everything they can to suppress the tape,” Copus continues. “That will take care of the criminal actions but it will get messy before it gets better.

“The bottom line is that normally when you see violence escalate like this the female is in extreme danger. The fear is what he [Mel] will do if action isn’t taken.”

Even if Mel is convicted, he most likely won’t be serving any jail time says Cron. “Generally on a first offense someone would spend a year in a domestic violence program and maybe some anger management.

“There is typically no jail time on a first offense.”

However, Copus is convinced that if Mel manages to escape the criminal suit it still won’t be over for the Braveheart actor.

“If he dodges the criminal bullet, he’ll get hit with a civil bullet.”

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Another Mel Gibson Slur Caught On Tape – Calls Latinos “Wetbacks”

Lieutenant Richard Erikson with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department tells RadarOnline.com: “An investigation of domestic violence was launched by Malibu/Lost Hills Station Detectives in July, 2010, involving actor Mel Gibson and his former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva. The detective in charge of the investigation is currently gathering information regarding the allegations. Due to the investigation being preliminary in nature, no other information is available at this time.”

Oksana recorded the conversation because she said that Mel had threatened her life. On the tape, Mel was heard saying: "I am going to come and burn the f--king house down... but you will blow me first."

Mel Gibson has been caught on tape making ANOTHER bigoted remark, this time against Latinos, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively.

RadarOnline.com has heard the tape.

Mel’s sickening “you f**cking deserved it” admission sheds new light on the he-said, she-said battle that has been raging between Oksana and Mel for the past several weeks.

His legal team has insisted Mel did not hit Oksana and that they had only a loud argument. The disputed event apparently took place January 6 in his Malibu mansion.

But sources close to Oksana claimed she was left bloodied and bruised and had her two front teeth knocked out during the violent confrontation.

The emergence of this part of the tape is the latest and nastiest development in the couple's bitter legal battle.

It exploded after RadarOnline.com’s blockbuster revelation that Mel had launched a vile, profane rant — and it was all caught on tape.

"You look like a f**cking pig in heat," Mel spewed in the recording.

"If you get raped by a pack of n****rs, it will be your fault."

Mel and Oksana have each filed court orders against each another in recent weeks.

Gibson also sought a court order, in a desperate bid to keep his ex from releasing a DVD which apparently includes the recording and photos of Oksana after the brawl.

Gibson’s camp has been on a hunt to find who released the tape.

His lawyers want to know if Oksana did it.

EXCLUSIVE: Oksana Has Secret Evidence Against Mel Gibson

Grigorieva's lawyers "vehemently denied" she leaked the tapes and for the first time, RadarOnline.com can reveal Oksana did not release the recording to us.

But we’ve learned that she decided to record Mel after he made a series of death threats against her.

Mel told Oksana, "I am going to come and burn the f---ing house down.

"How dare you act like such a b---h when I have been so f---ing nice?"

Drunken Mel previously shocked the world with his anti-Semetic comments when busted for DUI.

"The Jews are responsible for all wars in the world," he ranted to police, in 2006.

He famously went to rehab after that incident but as yet, has not apologized or acknowledged wrongdoing in these latest hate-fuelled outbursts.
