Frequently Asked Questions
Sexual assault (NRS 200.366) in Nevada is a Category A felony — the most serious classification. Penalties include: life in prison with the possibility of parole after 10 years (or 25 years if the victim was under 16), mandatory lifetime sex offender registration on the Nevada Sex Offender Registry (Tier 3), and lifetime special sentence supervision after release. These are among the harshest penalties in Nevada law. A Enterprise sex crimes defense attorney must be retained immediately to challenge evidence and protect your rights.
Nevada's Sex Offender Registry under NRS 179D requires convicted sex offenders to register with local law enforcement and comply with strict reporting and residency restrictions. Tier 1 (lowest risk) requires 15-year registration; Tier 2 requires 25 years; Tier 3 (highest risk, including sexual assault) requires lifetime registration. Failure to register is itself a felony. A Enterprise sex crimes defense attorney may be able to challenge the registration tier, petition for early removal after the required period, or fight the underlying charges to avoid registration entirely.
Nevada's statutory sexual seduction law under NRS 200.368 makes it a crime for a person 21 or older to engage in sexual intercourse with a person under 16. For perpetrators who are themselves under 21, the crime is a misdemeanor for a first offense. For those 21 and older, it is a Category B felony carrying 1–10 years. Nevada has no 'Romeo and Juliet' close-age exemption for those over 21. A Enterprise sex crimes defense attorney will challenge the evidence, including the alleged victim's age and the defendant's knowledge.
Nevada law and federal law criminalize online solicitation of minors, possession and distribution of child pornography, and internet luring. Federal charges (which carry mandatory minimum sentences) are prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office and handled in the U.S. District Court of Nevada (Las Vegas). State charges involving internet offenses are prosecuted by the Clark County DA. A Enterprise sex crimes defense attorney familiar with both federal and state digital evidence law is essential in these cases.
