Is there any difference between charges of assault and sexual assault?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Juarez, 199 Cal.Rptr.3d 735, 366 P.3d 989, 62 Cal.4th 1164 (Cal. 2016):

People v. Johnson (2013) 57 Cal.4th 250, 259, 159 Cal.Rptr.3d 70, 303 P.3d 379.) But whether the charges have identical elements is only part of the question.
