AGGRAVATED ASSAULT
Assault vs. Aggravated Assault Charges
A charge of aggravated assault is not to be confused with simple assault. While the two resemble one another on many levels, there is one crucial difference that could mean a difference in the way you sentence is charged and tried within the criminal system. Aggravated assault involves the use of a deadly weapon, and as such, it is considered in many jurisdictions to be a stronger form than its simple assault counterpart. In particular, aggravated assault charges will need to include the following elements in order to be charged:
- An attempt was made to cause bodily injury to another person through the use of a deadly weapon
- An attempt was made to cause serious bodily injury to another person
- An attempt was made to engage in sexual activity with an of-age individual who did not consent
