Assault charges bring with them the possibility of jail sentences and steep fines. Convictions mean a criminal record that can hinder future efforts to pursue employment, housing, and can make the sentencing for future convictions more severe.

What are the Different Types of Assault?

There’s a common misperception that assault involves the act of physically striking another human being. That’s not necessarily the case. Assault can simply involve the credible threat of violence. Battery is when that threat extends into action. 

Assault and battery can also be tied up with other offenses, notably sex crimes. It can involve the use of a deadly weapon. All of these circumstances, and more, go into what type of charges a District Attorney’s office may choose to file. 

Some cases will be misdemeanor offenses. These are still serious and punishable by up to a year in prison. But felony charges are the most severe. When they involve violent crimes and other serious offenses, they can count as a “strike” in California law. Once a defendant gets their third strike, they are subjected to prison terms of 25 years to life, even if the individual crime would normally be sentenced at far less than that.
