Reno Police Arrest Two for Child Pornography
On Wednesday, two men were booked into the Washoe County Jail for allegedly violating Nevada child pornography law. One man is listed as a Tier-2 sex offender, and police say he posed as a 13-year-old girl on MySpace in search of underage girls to befriend.
Nevada child pornography law makes a first offense of child porn possession (depicting children under sixteen) a category B felony, carrying one to six years imprisonment. A second offense is category A, punishable by a year to life (with the possibility of parole). Judges also have the discretion to order a fine of $5,000.
Nevada child pornography law metes out harsher punishment for advertising child pornography. A first offense is also a category B felony, but its sentence range is one to fifteen years and/or a $15,000 fine.
