Non-consensual Physical Contact in Harris County GA
Non-consensual contact may be made with either a person or that persons extended personality. This means that if one person leans forward and yanks the watch off another, a battery is committed, although the first person never actually touched the hand of the latter. When this act was preceded with an intent to cause the latter to fear an impending violent yank of the watch, both an assault and a battery have been committed. If the suspect only intended an assault causing the other to fear an impending violent pulling of the watch but did not intend to actually complete the violent yank, but somehow his hand made contact with, and actually yanked off the watch, both an assault and a battery have occurred. If in the process of physically gesturing to violently pull the watch off, contact is actually made and the watch is pulled from the latters wrist, a battery is committed.
