The Internet has been a hive for sex crimes. If you find yourself charged under these circumstances, check out this presentation to learn how to defend yourself.

1. 5 Types of Internet Sex Crimes

2. In Nevada, when you engage on sexual
activities that involve minors, human
trafficking, and other activities with very
harmful consequences—through the
Internet or not—you can be penalized
with sheer magnitude.
Learn more about the most prominent
internet sex crimes so you could be
aware of what would happen if you get
accused of doing one.

3. Sexting
Sending sexual images to another person
through the Internet is very much permissible,
granted that it is between people of legal age. It
does not ultimately damage any of the parties if
it is consensual and if no children are involved
in any way.
When adults use children as subject of their
sexting, they could be charged with child
pornography. If an adult, however, sends lewd
images of himself or herself to a minor, he or
she could be charged with lewdness with
minors.

4. Sextortion
Blackmailing people with their obscene (or even
nude) photos and footages is considered
sextortion and is one of the most common
forms of internet sex crimes.
It becomes a crime because it is a trick used to
obtain money, resources, or other favors from
the victim.
Being proven guilty of extortion is category B
felony in Nevada and entails one to 10 years in
prison and fines of $10,000.

5. Sex Trafficking
Like purchasing something online, sex
trafficking offenders use the online space to
present their victims so people can choose and
bid who they desire. Of course, this is all
predated by traffickers using Internet, more or
less the social media, to bait the victim.
The penalties for sex trafficking are extremely
serious and depends on the age of the victim.
But generally, an offender proven guilty of this
crime will be facing either a category A or B
felony in Nevada.

6. Child Pornography
According to NRS.200 that talks about
pornography involving minors, any person who
intentionally creates a pornographic film that
has persons under 16 years old as subjects is
guilty of category A felony.
Possessing child pornography and distributing
them through any electronic means is also a
criminal act. Most pornography are now seen
online so expect for these laws to apply one
way or another if you’re charged with the
crime.

7. Online Sex Solicitation
Sexual solicitation is when the prostitute and the customer agreed
to do a sexual act in exchange for money. This can also be called as
an attempted prostitution. It also is the endgame of some of the
sex crimes that we have already mentioned like sexting.
Sexual solicitation is illegal in Nevada and for it, a prostitute could
be charged with misdemeanor with penalties such as six months in
the county jail and fines of $400 for the first offense.
For the patron, the charges are pretty much the same with an
added burden of a community service. Note that this could get
result to even heftier penalties when the solicitation you accepted
was from a minor.
