There's a fine line between self-defense and revenge or going too far. This story from Kewaskum, Washington could possibly prove this point.
In said case a 40 year old woman gets close to being charged with assault after punching a man. The 43-year-old man has been a real pain in the posterior for quite a long time, even grabbing the woman's breasts.
When three men finally throw the idiot out of the bar, the woman goes after him and punches him hard in the face.
If she had hit him as he grabbed her, or directly after, this would have been a clear-cut case of self- defense. However, if you go after someone and then retaliate, you may very well end up being charged with assault.
Luckily for this woman the Assistant District Attorney decided not to press charges.
