When it comes to assault charges, this crime has a lot of grey area. Especially when the alleged assault is based on statements and testimony of one victim or witness (he said, she said credibility issues), and therefore many different interpretations can take place regarding what actually took place. Often times it comes down to who is the first person to tell their story to the police and the wrong person is often arrested and taken into custody.
