Some California charges seem strange. Assault with the intent to commit a felony is one of those charges. The name suggests that a person deliberately wanted to seriously hurt another. The confusion is that it sounds premeditated, even though many people associate the word assault with a spontaneous, unplanned burst of violence. The other reason it sounds strange is that most people think it’s the same thing as attempted murder.
What few people realize is that in California, assault with the intent to commit a felony pertains to sex crimes. The idea is that this type of situation arises when one person assaults another and then shows clear intent to further injure their victim by committing a violent sex crime.
It’s important to understand that an assault with the intent to commit a felony is a single charge. While it stands on its own, many people who are charged with assault with the intent to commit a felony are also charged with additional crimes, including:
- Rape
- Sodomy
- Statutory rape
- Spouse rape
- Lewd acts with a child under the age of 14
The issue of assault with the intent to commit a felony is discussed in California Penal Code 220 PC. The law says:
California Penal Code 220 PC
(a) (1) Except as provided in subdivision (b), any person who assaults another with intent to commit mayhem, rape,ponpladps:;l/li> gaon 3
