Most states have added a variety of murder charge which involves causing a death while involved in another enumerated crime. That means a sex act, without consent. Statutory rape is carnal knowledge of a person under the age of 12 or of a person under the age of 16 if the assailant is over the age of 16. A sex act with a person who cannot give consent knowingly, like persons in an institution for the mentally ill or a program for the mentally retarded, is also considered statutory rape. Lesser degrees include the intentional touching of the private parts of the victim under specifically defined circumstances.
Most states differentiate between simple assault and aggravated assault.
The more serious variety of assault involves the use of a dangerous weapon or the intention to inflict very serious bodily harm. Holding up a dry cleaner with a gun is a robbery. It is also a robbery when someone pushed to the ground and their money taken. Even grabbing someone's cash as they leave the ATM machine is a robbery. With drug laws, the seriousness of the crimes depends on the type and quantity of the drugs involved.
