Common Types of Sex Crimes
Sex crimes encompass a wide range of offenses, each carrying significant legal implications. Understanding these various charges is crucial for building an effective defense.
Common types of sex crimes include:
- Sexual Assault: This involves any unwanted sexual contact or behavior forced upon another person without their consent. It is important to differentiate between consensual acts and those that are illegal, as each situation requires a nuanced approach.
- Rape: A severe form of sexual assault, rape involves non-consensual sexual intercourse. The impact on victims can be profound, making it critical to address all aspects sensitively and effectively.
- Statutory Rape: Engaging in sexual activities with a minor, regardless of consent, falls under this category. It is important to understand the specific age laws in Nevada, which can affect the severity of charges and penalties.
- Child Pornography: The possession, distribution, or creation of pornographic material involving minors carries severe penalties and often involves complex legal proceedings.
- Indecent Exposure: Deliberately exposing one's genitals in a public setting with the intent to offend or alarm others. This can often be a misunderstood or misinterpreted charge requiring careful legal consideration.
- Prostitution & Solicitation: Engaging in or soliciting sexual services in exchange for money or other benefits. Understanding the legal delineations within Nevada's unique laws is essential for those charged.
- Sexual Battery: Any unwanted physical contact of a sexual nature that does not result in physical injury, yet still carries significant implications and requires thorough legal defense.
- Sexual Exploitation: Taking advantage of someone for sexual purposes, often involving minors or vulnerable individuals. This charge necessitates a detailed understanding of consent and exploitation definitions.

Client Success Stories

"Thanks to Mr. Goodman, my situation was resolved with the best possible outcome, and in record time! If you're looking for a criminal defense lawyer in Vegas, he's THE guy."I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Goodman. After being arrested at EDC, I contacted him to represent me in the resulting case. I was terrified of the potential consequences, but he worked his magic and got the case completely DISMISSED - an outcome that I never even dreamed of!
After consulting with a few other lawyers in the Vegas area, Mr. Goodman's professionalism was a breath of fresh air. He clearly knows the law and is very well connected in the city. Above all else, he relentlessly projects power and confidence in his conversations, a critical trait that every lawyer should have. I can't think of anyone I'd rather have negotiating on my behalf.

"This is the kind of attorney you don’t just recommend — you insist people hire. Worth every penny."Ross Goodman is, without question, in a league of his own. From our very first meeting, it was clear this wasn’t just another defense attorney — Ross is the real deal. He knows the system, commands respect in the courtroom, and he knows how to get results when it matters the most.
To be completely honest, we didn’t hire Ross right away — and that was our first mistake. We initially went with another well-known law firm, thinking we were getting a specific high-profile attorney. But when it came time for court, instead of the person we were promised, they sent in a junior lawyer we’d never met. I couldn’t even get straight answers to basic questions, and it quickly became clear that we were just another file on someone’s desk.
That experience made me double down and insist that we bring Ross Goodman onto the case. I had already met with him in person and had done my homework. After spending an entire afternoon watching interviews, YouTube clips, and reading about his background (and his incredible family — yes, I’m now also a fan of his dad, Oscar Goodman), I knew this was the attorney we had to have. Thankfully, we made the switch — and everything changed.
He took a very serious situation and turned it into a manageable, strategic resolution. He negotiated a plea that avoided a felony conviction — something we honestly didn’t think was possible. That outcome didn’t happen by chance — it happened because he knows how to talk to prosecutors, how to protect his clients when the stakes are high, and how to be the very best at what he does.
He’s not the cheapest attorney in town — and that’s exactly the point. If you’re gambling with your freedom, your record, or your future, you want someone with real experience and a proven reputation. You don’t hire Ross to hope for a good outcome , you hire him because you want the best possible one.
This is the kind of attorney you don’t just recommend — you insist people hire.
Worth every penny. - Meghan B.

"I switched and hired Mr. Goodman and could not have been more impressed with the outcome. You do get what you pay for."I met with Mr. Goodman who answered all my questions and knew his stuff. I decided to hire a less expensive attorney but was not happy with the progress ended up being a waste of money with the other guy. I switched and hired Mr. Goodman and could not have been more impressed with the outcome. You do get what you pay for. I should have gone with my gut reaction at the beginning that would have saved me anxiety, time, and money. Don’t make the same mistake.
