Bill would criminalize sex with animals in Nevada
Having sex with animals is technically legal in Nevada. Some Assembly members want to change that.
Assembly Bill 391 would create the crime of bestiality – sexual relations with an animal – bringing Nevada into the majority of states where it is already a crime. Nevada is one of just nine states where it is not a crime, including Hawaii, Kentucky, New Mexico, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming.
Ohio was also on that list until March 21, when its newly-passed bestiality ban took effect.
If passed, the Nevada bill would punish someone found guilty of a gross misdemeanor. That penalty is increased to a class C felony if the animal dies or is seriously injured or the person has a previous conviction for animal cruelty.
