Aggravated Assault

Assault in its simplest form, is a crime of violence against another person. In the United States of America, a person can be accused of assault by simply threatening violence with an immediate show of force. Aggravated assault is usually considered to be a stronger form of assault and usually involves a deadly weapon. It is a serious crime and can have serious consequences for the offender at the state and federal level.

A person is considered to have committed aggravated assault when they have done of the following:

• Attempted to cause serious bodily injury to another person
• Attempted and/or caused serious bodily injury to another with the use of a deadly weapon
• Attempted to engage in sexual activity with a minor under the age of 14
• Engaged in reckless behavior in with a motor vehicle (aggravated assault with a motor vehicle)

Sexual abuse and assault occurs when a person attempts to engage in any type of sexual activity with another person without consent. Assault occurs when a person attempts/threatens intentional violence against another person; battery occurs when actual violence/bodily harm takes place. Thus, assault and battery charges involve a combination of the two crimes.
