Man Who Attacked NFL Player Sentenced to Life in Nevada
Yesterday, a Clark County District Court judge sentenced a felon who's been convicted 11 times to life without parole for robbing and battering Javon Walker, a former NFL player. Meanwhile, he's also facing charges for child abuse, statutory sexual seduction, kidnapping and breaking Nevada pandering law in another case. His attorney says they will appeal the decision to the Nevada Supreme Court.
Nevada pandering law makes it a crime to encourage or force another person to be a prostitute. Pandering is often called "pimping." People may still be convicted of pandering even if they did not use physical violence and even if no sex acts took place . . . merely arranging for the solicitation of prostitution falls under the definition of pandering in Nevada.
The penalties for violating Nevada pandering law vary depending on the circumstances. A typical prison sentence for pandering an adult is 1 to 5 years. But pandering a child carries 2 to 20 years in prison.
