A juvenile can be charged with any crime including the one cited in the query. The definitive factor is whether or not he or she will be deemed to stand trial as a juvenile or an adult. There is no way to accertain what type of sentencing a juvenile might receive if convicted of such a crime. The are many contributing factors the least of which would be the age of the defendant, any prior criminal history would be applicable as would the severity of the assault and upon whom the assault was committed, an so forth.
