The crime of battery is defined as a deliberate harmful or offensive touching of someone else without his or her consent. Although we tend to think of battery as a violent act, such as a punch in the nose or a kick to the stomach, a light brush of the hand can be battery in some cases. A man who deliberately rubs his hand across a woman’s breast without her consent, for example, commits battery, even if the woman isn’t physically injured, because the touching is highly offensive to the woman.
