Las Vegas Sexual Assault Defense Attorney
Facing sexual assault allegations in Nevada? Your future may depend on what you do next.
Sexual assault charges in Nevada are among the most serious criminal allegations a person can face. A conviction can result in lengthy prison sentences, mandatory sex offender registration, and permanent damage to your reputation and livelihood.
At Pariente Law Firm, we provide experienced, discreet defense for individuals accused of sexual assault in Las Vegas, Henderson, and throughout Clark County. These cases demand precision, restraint, and a defense strategy grounded in facts—not assumptions.
Sexual Assault Charges and Penalties in Nevada
Under Nevada law, sexual assault generally involves allegations of non-consensual sexual contact or penetration. These cases are often complex and emotionally charged, and they may rely heavily on statements, interpretations of consent, and circumstantial evidence rather than physical proof.
Sexual assault allegations can arise from situations involving:
- Acquaintances or dating relationships
- Alcohol or drug use
- Conflicting accounts of consent
- Delayed reporting
- Digital communications or social media evidence
If convicted, sexual assault charges carry severe consequences, which may include:
- Long-term or life imprisonment
- Mandatory sex offender registration
- Restrictions on housing and employment
- Loss of professional licenses
- Permanent criminal record
Because of the seriousness of these penalties, early and experienced legal representation is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I’m accused of sexual assault?
Do not speak to law enforcement or anyone else about the allegation without an attorney present. Statements made early on can be misunderstood or used against you later.
Are sexual assault cases always based on physical evidence?
No. Many cases rely heavily on statements, timelines, and interpretations of consent rather than physical or forensic evidence.
Will a sexual assault charge automatically require sex offender registration?
If convicted, registration is often mandatory. That’s why early and experienced legal representation is critical.
