Battery – According to § 784.03, Florida Statutes, someone commits the crime of battery when they do one of two things:

  1. Intentionally touch or strike a victim against the victim’s will, or
  2. Intentionally cause bodily harm to the victim.

As strange as it seems, you can be guilty of misdemeanor battery without actually hurting anyone. Under the statute, the simple act of intentionally touching somebody against that person’s will is illegal. Simple battery is a first-degree misdemeanor, which means you could face twelve (12) months in the county jail if you are convicted.
