Assault does not only have to be physical, it can also be administered mentally.....

Depending on state law, assault could be defined as putting someone reasonably in fear of bodily harm.
As far as evidence is concerned, the statement of the alleged victim is evidence.
You may be saying that there is no physical evidence, but it is possible that you could still be convicted.
Do not talk to the police or the prosecutor about this. If it is a crime for which you could get a penalty including jail time, then you have a right to a public defender if you cannot afford to hire an attorney. Talk only to your attorney.
Good luck.

Well in Texas if convicted you get a couple of years and lose your rights to ever own a gun......My husband was accused of assault last year but luckily we were able to have dismissed for lack of evidence you should try the same you definately don't want it going to court......that family violence addition really makes it hard to win in court

There are no legal "penalties" for accusations. Your daddy may tan your hide regardless.
