If You're Arrested for Sex Crimes or Sexual Assault Charges It Doesn’t Mean You're Guilty
The Best Sex Crime Attorney
The stigma of being labeled a sexual offender can be a lifelong result of sexual assault or sex crimes charges. Sexual assault or “rape,” is the second most serious crime a person can commit in the State of Nevada after 1st Degree Murder. If convicted, a person can face a lifelong prison term, and if they get paroled they are required to register as a sex offender for a designated period of time. These kinds of sexual assault convictions make it difficult to gain employment and lead a normal life.
What are Sex Crimes?
Sex crimes, or sexual assault, is defined under NRS 200.366. A sexual assault occurs when a person “subjects another person to sexual penetration, or who forces another person to make a sexual penetration on himself or herself or another, or on a beast, against the will of the victim or under conditions in which the perpetrator knows or should know that the victim is mentally or physically incapable of resisting or understanding the nature of the perpetrator’s conduct.”
Essentially, it is illegal to have sex with someone if the sexual act is performed against the victim’s will, or the perpetrator knew (or should have known) the victim lacked the capacity to say no or were unable to understand what was happening. This would apply when the victim was drunk, drugged, or passed out.
Some Common Sex Crimes Charges Include:
- Sexual Assault/Sexual Battery/Rape
- Statutory Sexual Seduction
- Child Molestation/Lewdness with a Minor
- Sex Trafficing of a Minor
- Indecent Exposure
- Sexual Misconduct Between Teacher and Student
- Failure to Register as a Sex Offender
- Online Solicitation of a Minor/Internet Crimes Against Children
- Possession of Child Pornography
- Open and Gross Lewdness
- Luring a child or person with mental illness

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
About OUR Sex Crimes ATTORNEY Services in The Greater Reno Area
What should I do if I’ve been charged with a sex crime in Nevada?
If you’ve been charged with a sex crime, the most important step is to immediately contact an experienced sex crimes attorney. Sex crime charges carry significant legal consequences, including lengthy prison sentences, mandatory sex offender registration, and a permanent criminal record. Early intervention by a skilled lawyer can help protect your rights, ensure you understand the legal process, and work on building a strong defense. Your attorney can assess the evidence, challenge the prosecution's case, and explore possible defenses to reduce or dismiss the charges.
Can I be convicted of a sex crime even if the accuser is lying?
Unfortunately, false accusations of sex crimes do happen, and the consequences can be severe. In Nevada, even if the accuser is lying or exaggerating, you can still face charges. However, there are several defense strategies your attorney can use to challenge the credibility of the accuser and the evidence against you. Common defenses include proving a lack of consent, mistaken identity, or inconsistencies in the accuser’s story. An experienced attorney will work tirelessly to protect your reputation and freedom by attacking the validity of the accusations and seeking the best possible outcome.
What penalties can I face if convicted of a sex crime in Nevada?
Convictions for sex crimes in Nevada carry some of the most severe penalties in the criminal justice system. The penalties depend on the specific charge but can include lengthy prison sentences, fines, and mandatory registration as a sex offender. For example, sexual assault charges can lead to decades in prison, while charges involving minors, like lewdness with a child, carry even harsher consequences. Sex offender registration can also impact your life long after you’ve completed your sentence, limiting where you can live, work, and travel. An experienced sex crimes attorney like Jesse Kalter can work to minimize these penalties through strategic defense.
How can an attorney help me if I’m accused of a sex crime?
A skilled sex crimes attorney plays a crucial role in defending you against charges. Your attorney will investigate all the facts, review the evidence, and look for weaknesses in the prosecution's case. They can cross-examine witnesses, file motions to suppress evidence, and negotiate for a favorable plea deal if necessary. If your case goes to trial, your attorney will fight aggressively to ensure your side of the story is heard and work to achieve a "not guilty" verdict. They will also guide you through the emotional and legal challenges, ensuring you are not alone in the process.
What if the sex crime I’m accused of happened a long time ago? Can I still be charged?
Yes, in Nevada, sex crimes are subject to specific statutes of limitations, but for certain offenses, the clock does not start ticking until the victim reaches a certain age or the crime is reported. For example, certain charges related to child sexual assault or exploitation may be brought decades after the event. This makes it critical to act fast and consult with a lawyer if you’re facing charges for something that happened long ago. Your attorney will examine the legal details of your case, determine if any limitations apply, and create a defense strategy tailored to your specific situation.
