Nevada Laws Prohibiting Sexual Penetration of a Dead Human Body

The subsection of Chapter 201 that deals with the crime of sexual penetration of a dead human body contain one statute: Nevada Revised Statute section 201.450. This statute explains exactly what the unlawful act is that has been made illegal and also provides information on the penalties that you could face if you are convicted.

According to N.R.S. 201.450, it is unlawful to commit sexual penetration of a dead body of a human being. Sexual penetration is defined within the statute and the definition applies to determine if a defendant’s behavior constituted sexual penetration or not. According to the relevant law, sexual penetration includes any intrusion, no matter how slight, of a defendant’s body into the genital or anal openings of the body of another person. This can include cunnilingus, fellatio, or sexual intercourse in its ordinary meaning as it would be practiced upon the living.

A defendant can also be charged with the sexual penetration of a dead body if the defendant manipulates any object or inserts any object under his control into any part of the deceased person’s body. This means that even if a defendant does not personally penetrate the deceased person in a sexual manner, the defendant could still be found guilty of an offense under N.R.S. 201.450 if the defendant stuck an object of any type into the body of the deceased.

If a defendant is convicted of the offense of sexual penetration of a dead body under N.R.S. 401.450, the defendant will be found guilty of a Category A felony. The statute outlines the specific penalties that could be imposed upon the defendant after being convicted of the category A felony. According to the relevant law, a defendant who is convicted of sexually penetrating a dead body can be sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole as well as sentenced to pay a fine of up to $20,000. When a defendant is sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole under N.R.S. 201.450, the defendant will not be eligible for parole until a minimum of at least five years of imprisonment has been served.

This harsh sentence means that a defendant who is convicted of the sexual penetration of a dead human body will likely end up spending years in prison before getting a potential change to argue that he or she should be freed on parole. Fighting charges to avoid facing this prison sentence is vitally important.
