5 Types of Assault Charges
Here are various different types of assault charges differentiating between the several types and the penalties that can be levied against a person should they be convicted of the offense. When it comes to assault charges, there are five major types 
of charges that a person could face, all with penalties that could drastically affect their life.
The attorneys at Sodhi Law Group know only too well what can happen to a person if he or she is convicted of assault, including the harsh repercussions he or she might face. Fortunately, though, with the help of a skilled defense attorney, those facing assault charges might be able to get their charges reduced or dismissed altogether.
Offenses Classified as Assault
Assault comes in a number of forms and the type of charge that a person faces will depend on several factors, such as whether violence was actually committed against another person and who was threatened or harmed. The five main types of assault charges include:
- Assault and Battery: The crime of threatening a person together with the act of making physical contact with them.
- Rape and Sexual Assault: Being forced to do anything sexually against your will (including unwanted touching or intercourse) and verbal threats of unwanted sexual contact are illegal and defined as sexual assault or rape.
- Domestic Violence: It’s when there is violent, abusive or bullying behavior or actions towards a partner or former partner to scare and control them.
- Negligent Homicide: This means an act of recklessness or negligence caused the death of another person. The death must not have been intentional or planned in any way.
- Murder / Homicide: is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse, especially the unlawful killing of another human with malice aforethought.
