Domestic Assault
The police have been called. They have only one option in how to deal with this: lay a criminal charge of assault. No matter that the police were called to the house simply to calm things down.
Sexual Assault
You are under arrest for Sexual Assault. You have entered into the strange and frightening world of our sexual offence accusations. In this world there are usually no independent witnesses, no physical evidence, and no means to firmly establish your innocence.
