SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A man has been found guilty in connection with a “violent” assault in the Bay Area last year that left two women with various injuries, according to the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office.
Maurice Smith, 55, was found guilty of domestic violence and battery, according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors say an intoxicated Smith attacked a woman the afternoon of July 1, 2025. When the woman’s relative tried to intervene, Smith attacked her too, prosecutors said.
Smith kicked and struck the relative in the head, while the woman was left with a “bloody bite wound” during the attack, according to prosecutors.
Officers arrived around 5 p.m. that day to a report of a domestic dispute and found evidence that Smith had violently attacked the two victims, authorities said.
“The jury’s verdict holds Mr. Smith accountable and sends a message of support to all suffering behind closed doors: you are not alone,” San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said in a statement Tuesday morning. “My office will always stand with survivors and victims and do everything we can to fight for justice and help them heal from the trauma.”
