Domestic violence may include acts of sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, child abuse, child molestation or child endangerment.

Ventura Domestic Violence Charges

Domestic violence is most often charged as a felony in California. A conviction may result in the following penalties (depending upon the particular case, as well as the jurisdiction):

• Up to 4 years in state prison
• Fine of up to $6,000

If a child is the victim, a defendant may face increased penalties for a conviction. This includes up to 6 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $6,000.

Once the police become involved in a domestic dispute, there is often no turning back. Once they are called to the scene, it is more than likely that law enforcement will make an arrest. At that point, it is no longer in the hands of the victim to decide whether to press charges against the alleged abuser. The district attorney will decide whether to bring a case to court.
