Underlying Assault

The assault that must be present for strangulation to actually be charged under the Criminal Code.

What Right Law Group attorneys say

So for strangulation to be actually charged under the Criminal Code, there has to be that underlying assault. But then the act that is done has to be an act. Sometimes people say choking, but it's actually strangling putting your hands around another person or causing something to cut off airflow to another person.
