My brother spit on a woman's face because she had no class and acted as an uneducated person. My question is if that woman wants to sue him, then what charge he has to face.
Thank you,

I found this at http://cobrands.public.findlaw.com/personal_injury/newcontent/flg/ch13/st10/qa3.html

: Isn't battery a crime?

A : Yes, battery can be a crime but as a personal injury action it is a civil claim, as are all tort actions. The law considers torts to be wrongs against an individual, allowing the individual to sue for money damages. (For more on criminal assaults and batteries see the "Criminal Justice" chapter.) As a tort, a battery is a harmful or offensive touching of one person by another. Anyone who touches you or comes into contact with some part of you-even your purse-when you do not agree to it may be liable to you for battery. The law does not require any harm or damage. You do not even have to know a battery is occurring at the time in order to bring a battery claim. The person committing the battery may have meant no hatred or ill will. In one case, for example, a plaintiff successfully recovered damages for an unwanted kiss. In another case, a court found a defendant liable for spitting at someone's face. Also, a court found a battery when a person forcibly removed a women's hat. However, damages for technical batteries are small. After all, you were not actually hurt, so how much should you get?

I'd say your brother may have a problem with having no class or education

Your brother committed battery under CA law (PC 242) and can be charged with a criminal offense.

And spitting on someone is the act of a classy and educated person?!?

Oh, and you can tell him for me that he is an ass. He's lucky her knee didn't connect with his private parts.

The OP failed to mention that his brother is actually a spitting cobra.
**A: what a snake. It's a good thing the brother did not post for he has forked tongue.
