You made the point that bonds are not punitive and you outlined sdome of the criteria judges review prior to setting bond.
Did Sheen allegedley commit a crime? Yes, according to the probable cause affidavit.
Is Sheen going to appear is court? Probably so.
Was anyone hurt? No
Is there a threat of future violence? Probably not. The judge would have held him over for a hearing.

Judges see tons of domestic cases daily. He’s no different. Just set the bond(not because he’s rich), order no contact, and set a court date.
BTW, you can’t compare a simple assault charge(I say simple because an assault is just a threat with the ability to do harm) to a 1st degree felony sex offense. Big difference.

Where did I do that?

You don’t need to post to anyone...just have your own conversations. By the way, in your post, I counted many probables and a no answer to was anyone hurt...you must be a defense lawyer. A woman was threatened with a stabbing but unhurt? Everything you said is PROBABLY untrue or makes no sense...PROBABLY.
