Aggravated Assault and Battery

A person in Massachusetts can be charged with an Aggravated Assault, an Aggravated Battery or an Aggravated Assault & Battery. Aggravated Assault & Battery is a statutory offense that falls under Chapter 265, Section 13A of the Massachusetts General Laws. Like an Assault & Battery, it is comprised of an assault and a battery. However, similar to an Assault & Battery With a Dangerous Weapon, an Aggravated Assault & Battery is a felony. Therefore, you can be sentenced to a term in state prison.
