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 doesn't actually happen, it's only possible when there's a sexual component.

You hear the concept a lot, because it's a cover - "I'm on the sex offenders list, but I was just peeing. Didn't realize it was a playground, whoops!" is different from the true "I raped a girl, and despite the incredibly high burden of proof in that charge I was convicted, and now I have to tell you about it because I moved next door."

> I raped a girl, and despite the incredibly high burden of proof in that charge I was convicted

What burden of proof?

This is a crime where you can be accused of having committed it several years in the past, with no supporting evidence of any kind, and convicted for no other reason than that you give someone a "rapist" vibe.
