If, at the time of arrest, there was sufficient "probable cause" to believe that you committed the crime - and if the information was presented to a judge or grand jury and they handed down an indictment based on it - yes, you can be charged. It will be up to the prosecution to prove at trial that there IS sufficient evidence to convict you of the crime.

What happens if you assault someone but deny it and you have no previous criminal record?
Assaulting someone and denying it plus having no criminal record are not enough tools to guarantee you to walk as a free man. After all if an crime committed, evidences can be collected asking question is another tool of gather the evidences, there after case can be investigated, if there is witnessesthey can be called and after cross examine all the parties.The prosecution will then prove beyond reasonable doubt whether the accused is guilt or not. If the prosecute doubted as to that you committed the crime even though you did. You will be free.Being having no record before will not convince the prosecute that someone is incapable of assaulting one another, but it allow the guilt party to be given a lesser punishment.This was my own work.Don Makaveli.
