    Charged with battery. What will be the outcome?
    What happens if I'm charged with assault by beating (battery) , assaulted someone by beating them. But no mention of any beating in any statement. What's the outcome going to be even if I admitted getting some water in her hair?

    You don't have to beat someone to commit battery. Throwing water on her would probably be sufficient.

    U assume you are in the UK.
    "...
    Battery involves unlawfully touching another person (this does not include everyday knocks and jolts to which people silently consent as the result of crowds). No physical injury is necessary. Battery is distinguished from the offence of common assault, where the victim is caused to apprehend the immediate commission of a battery.

    The terms "battery" and "beat" are not normally used (if at all) in statutory provisions creating offences of aggravated assault ..."
