Nevada NRS Lewdness Charges

Our Las Vegas criminal lawyer defends persons charged with Open and Gross Lewdness NRS 201.210, and Lewdness with a Child Under 14 Years NRS 201.230. We fight lewdness charges throughout Las Vegas, Clark County and greater Nevada.

The consequences of conviction for a Nevada lewdness offense can be severe. NRS 201.210 -- Open or Gross Lewdness -- is punished as a gross misdemeanor on a first offense, and a category D felony on a second offense.

NRS 201.230 -- Lewdness with a Child Under 14 -- is generally punished as life in Nevada Prison on a first offense, and life in Nevada prison (without the possibility of parole) if the defendant has a prior conviction for the same or for a comparable offense.

Although these penalties sound terrifying, keep in mind that merely being arrested for a Las Vegas lewdness offense does not make one guilty. The person is still presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. A top notch Las Vegas lewdness defense lawyer can often prevent that from happening.

Unfortunately, innocent Las Vegas, Clark County and Nevada residents can find themselves wrongly accused of lewdness crimes. This may stem from accusing witnesses being affected by manipulation, misconception, misunderstanding or outright untruthfulness. Experienced Las Vegas criminal defense attorneys and investigators can uncover these factors leading to the person's wrongful prosecution.

The most common Nevada lewdness charges that we handle are:

NRS 201.210 Open or Gross Lewdness in Public

NRS 201.230 Lewdness With a Child Under 14 - Lewd or Lascivious Act

NRS 201.220 Indecent or Obscene Exposure
