Former Bailiff Pleads to Lewdness with a Minor in Nevada
The former bailiff for former Clark County District Court Judge Elizabeth Halverson has pleaded guilty to violating lewdness with a minor law in Nevada. He was arrested back in February after allegedly assaulting a young teenage girl sexually. He will be sentenced on June 2 and is currently being held at the Clark County Detention Center on $170,000 bail.
According to the police report, the former bailiff sexually abused the girl while his mom and ex-fiancee talked with the victim’s mother outside of her house. The responding officer reported that the victim’s underwear appeared bloodstained. She reportedly told the police that he assaulted her.
Lewdness with a minor law in Nevada makes it a crime to commit any lewd or lascivious act upon a child under fourteen with the intent of receiving or giving sexual gratification. The touching does not have to be on a sex organ as long as it’s committed with sexual intent. The standard sentence for violating lewdness with a minor law in Nevada is life in prison.
