Child Molestation Attorney

Accusations of child molestation should not be taken lightly. A conviction can have extremely negative repercussions on your work and social life. Of course, laws protecting children from molestation remain a justifiably important and necessary part of the court system. However, when someone becomes falsely accused of committing the crime, we must uphold justice.

In the state of Nevada, five main laws prohibit the sexual abuse and molestation of children under the age of eighteen. The five offenses are:

  • Statutory sexual seduction (also referred to as statutory rape)
  • Sexual assault
  • Lewdness with a minor under sixteen
  • Child pornography
  • Sexual abuse and exploitation

CHILD MOLESTATION SENTENCING IN NEVADA

Your child molestation attorney will provide a sound and aggressive defense on your behalf to prevent conviction. In some cases, a plea bargain might be in order. If for any reason you are convicted, the sentences handed out by the courts can vary based on which of the five offenses you are convicted of. In this case, your attorney will work as hard as possible to lessen the impact of the conviction.

Common penalties involve fines, prison time, and sex offender status, depending on the specific offense. As your child molestation attorney, we can fight for you and potentially get your sentence reduced.

If convicted of a child molestation the following may occur:

  • You may have to register with the Nevada Sex Offender Registry. Depending on the nature of the case, your name could be available for the public to search and find.
  • Child sex offenses in Nevada are considered moral turpitude. This means that non-citizens who are convicted of child abuse or molestation can be deported from the United States.

If the minor and the defendant have a familial relationship, the Nevada court system will add a charge of incest to the defendant’s case. Convictions for a crime of incest can lead to prison sentences that range in length anywhere from two years to a full life sentence. A judge would typically add that punishment to whatever punishments result from the base charges of child molestation.

With a child molestation attorney from the Law Offices of Benjamin Nadig, you can potentially prevent yourself from incurring the severe penalties that result from such a conviction.
