Definition of Domestic Assault:
Rhode Island Code Chapter 12-29-2 defines Domestic Assault as the following:
- Physical Abuse
- Mental Abuse
- Sexual Abuse
Domestic Assault encompasses over 15 laws according to this code. It could be a simple act of domestic battery, or a more serious offense such as kidnapping or homicide.
Domestic Assault also entails abuse toward:
- Someone who is residing in the household
- Someone who is related to the abuser
- Someone who has a child with the accused, regardless of marital status
The court will also examine certain factors, such as:
- Whether the couple or partners resided with each other over the last three years
- How often both individuals communicated
- The nature of the relationship, and if any protective orders were enforced
John Grasso will go beyond the accusations, to seek out medical reports, police reports of Domestic Assault, photos, DNA, and much more.
Whether you’re a victim or a defendant, let’s talk.
