Assault With A Weapon
Assault With a Weapon is a step up from simple Assault, when the perpetrator, in addition to what is mentioned above, also has a weapon with which he or she is doing the unwanted touching. A weapon doesn’t have to be a hand gun—it can be anything brandished and used for the purposes of a weapon.
