Aggravated Assault includes the actor as a possible victim who is which of the following?

• A. The offender may be charged if the victim is the actor's spouse
• B. Only strangers can be victims
• C. The offense applies only to public officials
• D. Only after death

Answer: (A)

Aggravated Assault can involve victims who are in a domestic relationship with the offender, such as a spouse. If the victim is the actor’s spouse and the required elements are met (for example, serious bodily injury or the use/display of a deadly weapon), it qualifies as aggravated assault. This shows the statute covers domestic violence scenarios, not just strangers. The other statements aren’t correct because victims aren’t limited to strangers, the offense isn’t restricted to public officials, and it doesn’t require death to be charged.
