What Is Domestic Assault & Battery in Massachusetts?
Under Massachusetts law (M.G.L. c. 265 § 13M), Domestic Assault & Battery is defined as:
🔹 An intentional, unconsented physical act on a family or household member that causes harm or offensive contact.
This applies to relationships such as:
🎓 Current or former dating partners
🏠 Roommates
👨👩👧 Individuals with romantic, residential, or familial ties
Police are required to arrest if probable cause exists, and courts often issue immediate no-contact orders.
Common Scenarios at Curry College

🏛️ Heated arguments in dorms or off-campus apartments turning physical
✋ Slapping, pushing, or grabbing during conflicts
💔 Dating disputes leading to 911 calls or RA reports
🛋️ Roommate altercations escalating to accusations
Even minor contact or no visible injuries can result in criminal charges and Curry College discipline.

Curry College Disciplinary Process
Curry College's Code of Conduct strictly prohibits physical violence and prioritizes student safety. Domestic assault allegations often lead to:
📤 Interim suspension or immediate housing removal
🔍 Title IX or Conduct Board investigation
🚫 Sanctions up to expulsion, even without a court conviction
Curry's standard of proof is “preponderance of evidence,” and disciplinary action can proceed independently of criminal charges. Learn more: Curry College Code of Conduct.
FAQs – Domestic Assault & Battery at Curry College
What if the other person doesn't want to press charges?
The Commonwealth can still prosecute. Once charges are filed, police and prosecutors—not the alleged victim—control the case.
Can I lose my dorm or campus access?
Yes. Courts and Curry may issue no-contact orders, often requiring students to leave housing or avoid parts of campus.
What if both parties were involved?
Mutual combat can be a defense, but Curry and the court will evaluate each party's actions separately.
