Answer:

Battery

Step-by-step explanation:

In this example, Nestro has committed battery. Battery refers to a criminal offense that involves unlawful physical contact. This can be a misdemeanor or a felony, and it is usually found in common law. In this case, Nestro committed this crime due to the unlawful and unwanted touching of Monica, who neither wanted to be touched, nor did she expect it.
