Nevada Sex Crime Laws
Nevada punishes a wide range of conduct under “sex crimes,” from unwanted touching to internet exploitation. Below is a breakdown of common charges and the statutes prosecutors rely on:
- Sexual Assault / Rape (NRS 200.366): Non-consensual sexual penetration by force, threat, or when the victim can’t consent.
- Statutory Sexual Seduction (NRS 200.368): Sexual conduct with a minor (14–15) by someone at least 18; consent doesn’t matter legally.
- Lewdness with a Child Under 16 (NRS 201.230): Any lewd or lascivious act on or with a child—touching is not required.
- Open or Gross Lewdness (NRS 201.210): Sexual acts in public or indecent exposure without a child victim.
- Indecent Exposure (NRS 201.220): Willfully exposing genitals in a place where others are present.
- Child Pornography / Sexual Exploitation (NRS 200.710–200.760): Possessing, producing, or distributing images or videos of minors.
- Luring a Child / Internet Sex Crimes (NRS 201.560): Using electronic communication to lure a minor for sexual conduct.
- Prostitution-Related Offenses (NRS 201.354): Solicitation or engaging in prostitution outside licensed brothels.
- Failure to Register / Registry Violations (NRS 179D): Not complying with sex-offender registration rules.
Consequences If You’re Convicted in Nevada
A sex-crime conviction can reshape your entire life. Prison terms are long, fines are steep, and many offenses require lifetime sex-offender registration that shreds privacy and career options.
Imprisonment & Fines
From years to life depending on force, age of the victim, and prior convictions
Sex Offender Registration
Tiered systems with in-person check-ins, public database listings, housing/work limits
Lifetime Supervision
Intensive parole-like conditions for certain offenses
Protective Orders & No-Contact Terms
Restricting communication and locations you can visit
Permanent Felony Record
Employment, licensing, immigration, and housing become uphill battles
Penalties swell with aggravating factors like victim age, weapon use, physical injury, multiple victims, or prior sex offenses. Mitigating factors such as no physical contact, consent misunderstandings, digital-only conduct, and clean history can reduce exposure. A seasoned attorney can challenge identification (especially online), attack forensic exams and digital evidence, exclude coerced statements, and negotiate reductions or dismissals when the facts allow.
Common Sex Crime Allegations We Defend
- “He said / she said” situations with no physical evidence
- Claims of consent later withdrawn or questioned
- Teen relationships where age differences trigger statutory charges
- Sexting or shared images that prosecutors call “child pornography”
- Online stings, chat logs, or fake profiles used to allege luring
- Indecent exposure misunderstandings (urination in public, wardrobe malfunctions)
Investigations, Privacy, and Pre-Charge Defense
Sex-crime probes often start quietly; detectives request “just a chat,” or a search warrant grabs phones and laptops. We intervene early to prevent damaging interviews, challenge overly broad digital searches, and counter unreliable forensic or “expert” testimony. The goal: contain the fallout before an arrest or indictment.

FAQs About Assault & Battery in Nevada
Most sex-crime convictions require registration, sometimes for life. The tier and length depend on the nature of the offense. Avoiding registration is a key target in negotiations.
Yes. Nevada treats minors under specific ages as unable to consent. Even small age gaps can trigger felony charges.
Yes. Luring statutes criminalize intent, not just physical contact. We challenge identity, intent, and undercover tactics.
Possibly. We work to keep cases low-profile and file motions to limit publicity where possible.
Yes. Suppressing a key statement, disproving age/identity, or exposing forensic flaws can collapse the State’s case.
Not automatically. Warrants must be specific. We attack overbroad searches and unlawful seizures.
Most cannot be sealed, but dismissals or certain reduced charges may qualify. We review sealing options post-case.

I talked to a lot of lawyers in Las Vegas. I haven't heard or seen one i trust until I accidentally ran into Flangas Law Firm through a Bonds place. They cam highly recommended. I had my doubts but after talking to the ladies in the office and the lawyer, I was at ease but still a little doubtful. What changed my mind for the good is they did everything they said they would on time. They made my case go to court faster than I anticipated. Everytime I call to ask a question they are happy to talk and take their time to explain. I always cringed at lawyers until I found Flangas. Now I know they're miracles out there and it starts with Flangas. Thank you
I was facing two felony charges and one misdemeanor, and I was stressed and unsure about my future. Flangas Law Firm in Las Vegas truly had my back and got my entire case fully dismissed, all three charges completely dropped. Peggy was extremely understanding and genuinely cared about my situation from the start. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made the entire process a lot less stressful. My attorney, Dowon Kang, along with the rest of the team truly knew what they were doing and fought hard for me. I’m extremely grateful for the outcome and the professionalism shown by everyone at Flangas Law Firm. Because of the results they delivered this will be the only law firm in Las Vegas I trust and confidently recommend going forward.

I cannot thank this firm enough for what they have done for me during the most difficult time of my life. I was falsely accused on charges that could have destroyed my future, despite having no prior history and everything I had worked for on the line. From the very beginning, Peggy showed incredible compassion, understanding my financial hardship and prioritizing my emergency over money — something I will never forget. She treated me with genuine empathy at a time when I felt hopeless. Dowon Kang represented me in court with dedication and professionalism, guiding me step by step through a complicated and overwhelming process. Christina Brown’s expertise in handling the expedited expungement of my record has been invaluable, as it directly allows me to continue pursuing job opportunities without the shadow of false accusations hanging over me. I owe everything to this team for giving me back my peace of mind and my future. I would strongly recommend their services to anyone facing legal challenges — not only for their legal skill, but for the compassion, humanity, and true care they show their clients.
Ok! If you’re in Las Vegas, NV and you have a criminal or civil case, look no where else. This is my second time using them for a criminal case. Peggy is absolutely amazing with her assistance and communication in regards to your case. First case was completely dismissed and I know on the recent one it will also be the same results. They should wear capes because they are definitely super heroes in the courtroom!
The last 6 months have been a very challenging time in my life faced with legal concerns and worrying about what the future would bring. A family member provided me with someone he knew could assist me at Flangas & Frizzell Criminal Law Firm. As soon as I entered the office I was immediately placed at ease and although still stressed over my circumstances, Peggy and Christina assured me that the Firm will take care of me and they did!! I want to especially thank Christina, I do not know what I would have done without her support. She always provided comfort and peace of mind to my every call, never ignoring me through the entire process ensuring me that I would be fine. I like to thank Mr. Kang who represented me and got me the best deal possible for my circumstance. For this I will forever be thankful to the entire team at the Law Firm, thank each of you for helping me and continuing to help others. I would and do Strongly Recommend all not just for the legal assistance/representation but more importantly an assurance of "Caring" during the process. Dean S.
