Assault charges but not physical violence? What in the world? I'm so sorry you got that on your record.

I would look at smaller startups that might make it easy to just escalate to the CEO if you have a good explanation, rather than having an HR department stop you right away.

EDIT: I thought assault meant physical violence, but not harm while battery meant harm. I was wrong I guess?

Given that urinating in public can result in sex offender charges in some locales, I'm not surprised that you can have non-violent assault charges.

This basically doesn't happen, mostly an urban legend.

Would recommend verifying their charges yourself, people tell you this so you don't go peeking around. It's often a cover for a significantly more serious act.

Look on the registry yourself - you won't see anyone on there for peeing in public: https://www.nsopw.gov/
