Nevada law makes it a felony to solicit a child under 18 years old for prostitution. The sentence increases with each successive punishment. A first offense is a category E felony, carrying robation and a suspended sentence, with a possible jail sentence of up to 1 year. But if the defendant has two or more prior felony convictions, the court may order 1 to 4 years in Nevada State Prison, and possibly up to $5,000 in fines. There is a two-year waiting period after the case closes before defendants can petition to seal the conviction. A second offense is a category D felony, carrying 1 to 4 years in prison, and up to $5,000 in fines (at the court's discretion). There is a five-year waiting period after the case closes before defendants can petition to seal the conviction. A third or successive offense is a category C felony, carrying 1 to 5 years in prison, and possibly up to $10,000 in fines. Courts may not grant probation or suspended prison sentences. There is a five-year waiting period after the case closes before defendants can petition to seal the conviction.
