Simple assault could be "I'm gonna smack you" than not even do it. Or she had a small scratch or bruise and because she said he did it and he has no injuries….arrested.
Pretty much, as long as the victim says they felt threatened of physical violence against them you can be charged with simple assault. I'm not defending anyone without evidence one way or the other but just providing some context. People hear domestic violence and automatically assume someone was hit or beaten.
