You know, I'm still highly dubious. I've never heard of this charge of verbal assault and the only mention I can find on it is the same little block of text repeated, word for word, on several celeb websites. They all seem to have copied it from a single US source.
So, who knows, as I say it's difficult to keep up these days, but I have to question the source. Celeb sites don't rate highly with me as being known for their factual accuracy.
Other than that, the only instances Google could find for me of someone actually being arrested on a charge of verbal assault were US cases, where it does seem that such a charge exists.
You've gotten me intrigued now, though.
I'm going to do some more browsing around and see if I can pin this one down one way or another.
