Vegas Harassment Charges 

Las Vegas harassment charges are frequently brought against perfectly innocent people. Perhaps their normal behavior was misinterpreted as threatening, or perhaps they were falsely accused.

In Nevada, harassment is any type of threatening words or conduct. Harassment also includes threatening a person to harm someone else, like their family or pet.

Plus, the threats do not have to be immediate to qualify as harassment: What is important is the threat itself, not when it may be carried out.

When is harassment a criminal offense in Nevada?

Harassment is an extremely general crime that comprises many possible actions. Broadly speaking, to harass in Nevada means knowingly to threaten someone else with harm so that person reasonably fears that the threat will be carried out. Such harm may include:

• Bodily injury,
• Physical damage to property,
• Being restrained or physically confined, or
• Anything else intended to substantially harm another person’s physical or mental safety.

To be considered harassment in Clark County, the threats can be made by

• words or
• conduct.

It is also considered harassment to threaten one person to harm another person, such as threatening a mother to hurt her baby.

The injury being threatened does not have to be immediate—threatening to do harm in the future may still be harassment.

Relation To Stalking

Although harassment is a separate offense from stalking, they are closely related because they both comprise behavior that causes another person to reasonably fear being harmed. The main difference is that:

• Harassment is the direct threat of harm through words or actions, whereas
• Stalking usually involves trying to force contact with the victim.

What Are The Penalties?

The penalties a Clark County judge will impose for a harassment conviction depend upon whether you:

• committed harassment before,
• threatened substantial bodily harm or
• used the internet to carry out the harassment:

Standard Penalties

A first offense of committing harassment is just a misdemeanor in Nevada, carrying the following sentence:

• up to 6 months in jail, and/or
• up to a $1,000 fine

Any subsequent harassment offenses are charged as gross misdemeanors, which have double the maximum penalties:

• up to 364 days in jail, and/or
• up to a $2,000 fine
