Taylor
Is Suing for Assault. Is She claiming the DJ Hit Her?
In a lawsuit that started in trial last week, Taylor Swift
is seeking damages against a DJ claiming he assaulted her during a meet and
greet. People usually believes an assault means that someone hit someone else.
But that is not necessarily the legal meaning of assault. Assault is merely the “unwanted touching” of one person by
another. Clearly if someone smacks you in the face, that’s an assault. But if someone
touches you inappropriately, that can also be an assault. Taylor Swift claim the DJ reached under her skirt as they
took a picture. His touching her did not physically harm her, as if someone hit
her with a stick, nevertheless that would qualify as an assault and if
believed, would entitle her to damages.
