Sexual Assault Charges in Nevada

In Nevada, sexual assault involves the sexual penetration of a victim who does not, or is unable to give consent. This includes victims who have impaired judgment or are unconsciousness due to alcohol or drugs such as Rohypnol ("roofies"). Minors are by law also unable to give consent and penalties can increase greatly for charges involving an underage victim.

All sexual assault charges are category “A” felonies and punishments can vary depending on a victim’s age, if bodily harm occurred, and if the accused has previously been charged for sexual assault. In addition to jail time, those who are convicted will be required to register in a national database as sex offenders. If paroled, this can which can affect where offenders are allowed to live and work.

Defending Sexual Assault Charges

There are several methods for defending against charges of sexual assault and our firm can fight against even the most severe of accusations.

Strategies include:

  • False accusations: False accusations refer to instances where allegations are completely false, ascribe true events to an innocent individual, or describe partially true events where key details were exaggerated or invented.
  • Lack of evidence: In order to secure a sexual assault conviction, a prosecutor will need to prove that allegations occurred “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Our firm can question the reliability of evidence to highlight any inconsistencies existing on the side of the prosecution.
  • Plea bargains: In a plea bargain, the defendant pleads guilty to a specific charge in order to avoid a more severe penalty. This strategy may be useful if the prosecution has strong evidence that will likely lead to a conviction of a lesser charge, such as simple battery or gross lewdness, but may not be confident in their ability to convict a defendant of sexual assault.
