A more thorough explanation: Secret assault refers to an attack or assault carried out stealthily or without the knowledge of the victim, often to catch them off guard. It is typically characterized by the element of surprise, where the assailant deliberately hides their intent to harm until the moment of the attack. This term is used in legal contexts to describe a form of assault that involves deception or concealment to achieve the attack.
Example: The victim of the secret assault decided to press charges against the perpetrator after discovering evidence of the attack.
