What Is Assault & Battery Under Massachusetts Law?
In Massachusetts, Assault and Battery (A&B) is defined under M.G.L. c. 265 § 13A as:
🔹 Intentional, unconsented physical contact, however slight, that causes offense or harm.
This includes actions like:
👊 Punching, pushing, or slapping
💦 Spitting or throwing an object
🤝 Touching someone during a fight without their consent
Even minimal force or an escalated verbal argument can lead to an arrest.
Common Student Scenarios Leading to A&B Charges
Curry students often face A&B charges due to:
🏠 Roommate disputes turning physical
💔 Relationship conflicts (dating violence, jealousy)
🍻 Altercations at off-campus parties or bars
😡 Fights triggered by alcohol or social stress
These incidents, whether on or off campus, are handled at:
Quincy District Court
📍 1 Dennis Ryan Parkway, Quincy, MA 02169
What Are the Legal Consequences for Students?
Assault and Battery is typically a misdemeanor, but factors like weapon use, serious injury, or a domestic relationship can elevate it to a felony. Potential consequences include:
⛓️ Up to 2½ years in jail
🧠 Probation and mandatory anger management
🚫 Stay-away orders from other students or housing
🗃️ A permanent criminal record (CORI)
For many students, especially first-time offenders, we can pursue pretrial probation, a CWOF, or case dismissal to minimize long-term impact.
Curry College's Disciplinary Process
Curry College's Student Code of Conduct prohibits any act that harms or threatens another individual. Physical altercations are considered major violations, even without a criminal conviction.
Disciplinary actions may include:
📤 Interim suspension or removal from campus housing
📋 Disciplinary probation or expulsion
🧠 Required counseling or conflict resolution workshops
🏅 Loss of scholarships, athletic eligibility, or internships

What if I was defending myself?

Can I stay in my dorm while this is being resolved?
Not always. A no-contact or stay-away order may require immediate relocation or removal from housing during the investigation.
