Types of Assault and Battery Charges in Georgia

With cases involving assault and battery things can get complicated. In Georgia there are four different charges that you could face because there are simple and aggravated forms of each crime. The four charges vary in severity with simple assault being the least severe and aggravated battery being the most serious charge. If you are charged with simple assault or simple battery, then it is considered to be a misdemeanor crime. However, the aggravated versions of assault and battery charges are categorized as felony offenses.

Simple assault is where the defendant merely attempted to commit a violent act or injure someone.

Aggravated assault goes a step further where the defendant attempts to rob, rape or murder someone and they do so with a weapon that could cause serious injury.

Simple battery is when there is actual physical contact made with the victim and the violent act is intentional.

Aggravated battery is when the defendant causes serious bodily harm in a malicious manner and in some cases disfigures the victim.
