Las Vegas Magic Show Star Charged with DV
Rachel Jessee, who starred in “Scarlett and her Seductive Ladies of Magic” at the Riviera, was arrested on a misdemeanor count of breaking Las Vegas domestic battery law. The twenty-one year old allegedly assaulted her sixty-seven year old boyfriend two weeks ago. The police report states that she grabbed him by the ear after an argument and punched him in his right eye.
Las Vegas domestic battery law defines domestic violence as the infliction of a battery, assault, coercion, sexual assault or course of harassment on a spouse, parent, roommate or romantic partners (past or present). Many people are falsely accused of domestic battery by vengeful significant others, or else they’re in fact the victims in the skirmish and acted only in self-defense. Non-citizens charged with DV have to be careful to choose a lawyer familiar with immigration law because it’s a deportable offense.
The penalties for a first-offense of breaking Las Vegas domestic battery law include two days to six months in jail and DV counseling. A second offense mandates ten days to six months in jail, 100 hours of community service and a year of DV counseling. Meanwhile, a third offense is a category C felony carrying up to five years imprisonment.
