An assault committed upon your 'significant other' is Domestic Violence. The likliehood of that being dropped is slim to none.
If you were charged with a felony assault and the charges were dropped, you do not have a criminal record. The charges can be picked up by the state at a later date.
Yes because the records are clean
Going ONLY on the information disclosed in the question - -It is stated the criminal assault charges were dropped, but no mention is made of the the no-contact order being lifted.Even if the assault charge was dropped - if the no-contact order was not lifted you may NOT go home and/or contact your partner.
Answernot for a job but it will always be on your federal record.at seven years it clears
Yes, if they have proven it tho...
state can pick up the charge if they want.
An assault case in the UK is The State vs The Accused, and while charges can be dropped at the request of the victim, it's not automatic. Depending on the circumstances (if the attacker was armed, whether the attack was premeditated) the state might ignore the wishes of the victim.
The answer is both yes and no. However, the chances are much greater if the complaintant does not present themselves in court. However, If the charges are being persued by the state, then the state has the ultimate option of moving to continue the case or moving to dismiss. In some states, if the charges were pressed by the complaintant and not the police and the complaintant does not appear, that is sufficient grounds to move for dismissal of the charges.
In Virginia, the victim can request that assault and battery charges be dropped, but ultimately, the decision lies with the prosecutor. The state has the authority to pursue charges independently of the victim's wishes, especially in cases involving public safety. If the victim does not want to proceed, they can communicate this to law enforcement or the prosecutor, but it may not guarantee that the charges will be dismissed.
Once you have been charged with simple assault, it becomes the People of the State vs. You, and the person (victim) you assaulted can't just drop it, because it is not his/her case anymore - it is the District Attorney's case.
