Domestic Violence Is Harshly Prosecuted
The penalties for domestic violence can vary greatly depending on past history, criminal record, whether any protective orders were violated, the severity of the crime, and the status of the victim. For example, general domestic violence is considered a misdemeanor crime. Aggravated domestic violence by a repeat offender, or instances where rape or sexual assault are involved could be considered a felony and carry a lengthy prison sentence.
- Anyone who is or has been in a “personal relationship” can be accused of domestic violence. This includes:
- Current or former spouses
- Members of the opposite sex who are living or have lived together
- Current or former dating couples
- Two people who are defined as parent and child (including those who are acting as parents to a minor child) or grandparents and grandchildren
- People who have a child in common or who act as a child's parent
- Current or former household members
