Obscene material in Nevada is defined in Nevada Revised Statute section 201.235 to include items, materials or performances that an average person would find appeals to prurient interest under modern community standards. To be classified as obscene material for purposes of Vegas laws on obscenity, the material must lack any serious artistic, literary, political or scientific value. It also must either lewdly exhibit the genitals or depict sexual acts, masturbation, excretory function, sadism, or masochism in a patently offensive way.
When a material is considered to be obscene as defined by Nevada law, there are restrictions on what can be done with the material and penalties may be imposed in certain circumstances. Some of the circumstances in which obscene material can result in criminal convictions are defined in the Nevada Revised Statute section 201.249.
This statute is found within Chapter 201 of Title 15, which is the chapter of Nevada’s criminal code that establishes the definition of different kinds of crimes against public decency and good morals. If you have been accused of any crimes made illegal in Chapter 201, you need to talk with a Nevada defense attorney who is familiar with this section of state law and who can help you to fight against serious charges that could affect every aspect of your future.

When I initially met with Mr. Wooldridge, he took the opportunity to sit and go over my problem with me. He described details in my case which he found disturbing and explained why he I should have him on my side.
