Sex Crime Attorney
LAS VEGAS SEX CRIME ATTORNEY
Nevada’s criminal justice system considers sexually-based offenses particularly egregious – as does much of American society. Sex crimes carry a stigma that surpasses that of other crimes.With offenses of this nature, prison only signals the beginning. A sex crime conviction means that you must register as a sex offender for life, wherever you may live. Anyone could access your name, address, photo, and charges online. As a sexual offender, you will also face housing restrictions and limitations on the type of job you can have. Subsequently, the importance of a sex crime attorney cannot be understated.
TYPES OF SEXUALLY-RELATED CRIMES
Sexual crimes cover a wide range of offenses, including but not limited to:
- Sexual assault
- Sexual battery
- Open and gross lewdness
- Pandering
- Child pornography
- Child molestation
- Rape
- Statutory rape
- Lewd behavior with a minor
- Internet sex crimes
- Sex trafficking
- Failure to register as a sex offender
- Prostitution charges
DIFFERENCES AND DEFENSES
As a defendant, no matter where you are, whether Clark County, Las Vegas, or elsewhere in the state, you will face an uphill battle. In the justice system, you are innocent until proven guilty. In larger society, however, an unfounded accusation can shatter your reputation beyond repair, no matter how false. Many people accused of sex crimes find that law enforcement personnel and the community as a whole often assume that they are guilty.
Most sex crimes are committed behind closed doors. Consequently, plaintiffs often file charges based on nothing more than their word, potentially resulting in groundless accusations. In these cases, the assistance of a sex crime attorney ensures that you know your rights
If you have been accused of a sex crime, or if someone has threatened to accuse you, call a lawyer immediately.

As the Internet continues to expand, state and federal governments continue to pass stronger laws and impose more severe penalties for alleged crimes that involve its use.

In general terms, sex trafficking occurs when one person is forced into the sex trade by another. Whether you are a person who transports people into Nevada to become prostitutes or a person who operates a prostitution ring, you could be facing charges under the state’s sex trafficking laws.
Sex trafficking charges are completely different from pimping and pandering charges. Sex trafficking charges specifically seek to punish people who use force, threats or lies to induce others to become prostitutes. A conviction in these cases can result in heavy fines, lengthy prison sentences and registration as a sex offender. If you are facing charges for sex trafficking, be sure that you have a skilled defense attorney representing you.

A conviction on certain sex crime charges will require you to register as a sex offender. These include child pornography, sexual assault, open and gross lewdness, prostitution and sex trafficking. You will be notified of the requirement to register and will be expected to do so within the allotted time.
In many cases, people are not able to register in the allotted time. In others, they want to try to avoid the stigma associated with registration and simply decide not to do it. Unfortunately, failure to register as a sex offender is a felony offense in Nevada that can result in up to four years in prison and up to $5,000 in fines for a first offense. Subsequent offenses call for more severe penalties.
DON’T PLEAD GULTY TO A FELONY WITHOUT TALKING TO A LAWYER FIRST

Statutory rape charges, or statutory sexual seduction as it’s called in Nevada, can destroy lives and reputations. While the law is meant to protect people under the age of 16 from being taken advantage of by adults, otherwise law-abiding people may find themselves facing these allegations even if they made a reasonable mistake regarding another person’s age or if the alleged sexual activity was entirely consensual. It is important to seek help from a skilled lawyer if you have been charged with this type of crime.
As a Las Vegas attorney and founder of The Law Offices of Benjamin Nadig, Chtd., I understand what it takes to build an effective statutory rape defense. I will work tirelessly to help you minimize the consequences of your charge and to help you achieve the best possible outcome in your case.
WHAT IS CONSIDERED STATUTORY RAPE?
The law in Nevada defines statutory sexual seduction as ordinary sexual intercourse, including oral sex, by a person who is at least 18 years old with a person who is under the age of 16. Unlike other types of
sex crimes, the alleged sex act does not require the proof of force. In other words, even if both parties wholeheartedly agree to engage in the alleged sexual activity, the person who is considered to be an adult can still be convicted of this crime.
In addition, a reasonable mistake is not a defense against statutory rape charges. In other words, even if the underage individual stated that he or she was 16 or older, or if the minor appeared to be older than he or she actually was, you can still be convicted for having sex with a minor.
THE CONSEQUENCES OF A CONVICTION ARE SEVERE
The state takes statutory sexual seduction cases very seriously. The potential penalties for being convicted of this crime are serious. If you are 21 or older, you will be facing felony charges that carry up to five years in prison and fines of up to $10,000. If you are younger than 21 but older than 18, you will be charged with a gross misdemeanor, which carry up to one year in prison and fines of up to $2,000.
In addition to the immediate consequences, a conviction will become part of your permanent criminal record, which can have a negative impact on your ability to find employment, to find housing, to qualify for certain loans and can have numerous other adverse consequences. With this much on the line, you need an attorney who understands how these cases operate.
