Existing law defines “crime against a child” as certain crimes committed against a victim who was less than 18 years of age at the time of the offense and provides that a person convicted of such a crime is a Tier II offender for the purposes of offender registration and community notification. (NRS 179D.0357, 179D.115) Sections 1 and 3 of this bill provide that a customer convicted of solicitation of a child for prostitution is a Tier II offender for the purposes of sex offender registration and community notification. Existing law defines the term “sexual offense” for the purposes of requiring persons convicted of certain sexual offenses to be prohibited from certain employment, to register as a sex offender, to comply with certain mandatory conditions of probation or parole and to fulfill certain other requirements. (NRS 118A.335, 176.0913, 176A.410, 179D.095, 179D.097, 179D.441, 213.1099, 213.1245) Section 2 of this bill revises the list of sexual offenses to which these statutory provisions apply to include the offense of solicitation for prostitution, when committed by a customer and other than soliciting a child for prostitution. Section 4 of this bill makes a conforming change related to the numbering changes made in section 2.
