Sex crimes are among the most serious offenses, and are aggressively prosecuted because of the severity of the crimes. Merely facing allegations of a sex crime can irreparably damage your reputation and career.
If you are under investigation or facing sex crime charges, it is imperative to seek guidance from an experienced attorney immediately. The longer you wait, the worse your chances of escaping a charge become.
Prostitution is Not Legal In Las Vegas
Contrary to what many come to Vegas thinking, prostitution is, in fact, not legal in Las Vegas.
Despite Nevada being the only state to legalize prostitution, this does not mean that prostitution is a free-for-all throughout the entire state. In fact, it is only legal in 10 of the 16 counties and is highly regulated in those counties. Las Vegas is located in Clark County, which does not permit prostitution in any form.
If you are picked up on a solicitation or prostitution charge, it is imperative that you consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney sooner rather than later. Call Morton Law at (702) 718-3000 today for your obligation-free consultation.
Nevada Sex Offender Registration
One of the most potentially damaging aspects of being charged with a sex crime is the potential of ending up on the sex offender registration. In Nevada, if you are convicted of certain sex crimes, you are required to register as a sex offender.
Being listed on the sex offender registry can have a significant impact on your life, even beyond the criminal penalties associated with whatever offense you have been accused of. It can affect housing and employment opportunities as well as your personal relationships.
