The Juvenile Crime That Won't Go Away
Most people believe that a juvenile offense will not have adult consequences. For the most part, juvenile records are sealed. Juvenile sex crimes, however, may bring serious complications to the life of a young adult. If your minor child has been charged with a sex crime, discuss the possible consequences with an attorney experienced with juvenile sex crime cases.

Juvenile crimes are supposed to stay in the juvenile system. But something different often happens with juvenile sex crimes. It may seem to the juvenile and the family that the issue has been settled when the court makes its ruling. In fact, many lawyers will plead the juvenile without knowing what might happen when the juvenile becomes an adult.
At the Law Office of Turco & Draskovich in Las Vegas, we help families and their minor children understand the seriousness of a sex crime conviction—even for a juvenile.
- When a minor child (12, 13 or 14 years old, for example) is charged with a sex crime, the juvenile court hears the case and passes sentence within the juvenile justice system. The sentence is served.
- When the child turns 18 or 21, suddenly there may be an order to register as a sex offender. At 18, the registration may be for a limited time, but at 21 the registration may be made permanent. Adult consequences are given for a juvenile crime.
- At our law firm, we are well aware of the tactics of CPS (Child Protective Services) and Youth and Family Services. We use our knowledge of the law to keep sex offender registration from happening.
Sex crimes—even juvenile sex crimes—are treated with extreme severity. If your child has been charged, contact a lawyer who is experienced in sex crime defense. We represent clients arrested in Clark County, Nevada.
