Existing law provides that a person who solicits a child for prostitution is guilty of a felony. (NRS 201.354) Existing law: (1) requires a defendant convicted of certain sexual offenses punished as a felony to undergo a psychosexual evaluation as part of the presentence investigation and report to the court prepared by the Division of Parole and Probation of the Department of Public Safety; (2) requires the Division to arrange for the psychosexual evaluation of the defendant; and (3) prohibits the court from granting probation to or suspending the sentence of a person convicted of certain sexual offenses, unless the person who conducts the psychosexual evaluation certifies that the person convicted of the sexual offense does not represent a high risk to reoffend. (NRS 176.133, 176.135, 176.139, 176A.110) Sections 1 and 4 of this bill add solicitation of a child for prostitution to the list of sexual offenses which require a psychosexual evaluation and a certification that the person convicted does not represent a high risk to reoffend. Sections 2 and 3 of this bill require the Division to arrange for a psychosexual evaluation of the defendant and make a presentence investigation and report to the court that includes the evaluation if: (1) the defendant is convicted of a felony other than a sexual offense or a gross misdemeanor; (2) the defendant and prosecuting attorney submit to the court a joint request for a presentence investigation and report to the court that includes a psychosexual evaluation; and (3) the original charge against the defendant in the complaint, information or indictment was for a sexual offense. Section 4.5 of this bill makes an appropriation to the Division for the costs of conducting psychosexual evaluations.
