- Aggravated Assault - occurs when a sexual assault is committed during a felony, or if the one who committed the offense is a mandated reporter (someone who regularly comes in contact with individuals who are vulnerable). One could also be charged with aggravated assault if an individual was harmed in the event of an indecent assault.
