A.J. v. Eighth Judicial District Court

Nevada Supreme Court
394 P.3d 1209 (2017)

CR

Facts

When A.J. (defendant) was 15, she was recruited into a Las Vegas sex-trafficking operation. A police officer observed A.J. walking on the street and stopped her. A.J. initially refused to provide her identification but later provided it. A.J. admitted to the officer that she had been working as a prostitute for three months. She was arrested for soliciting prostitution and loitering for the purpose of prostitution but was ultimately charged only with obstructing an officer. A.J. pleaded guilty and was placed in youth housing operated by the state. A.J. ran away, was found soliciting prostitution again, and was arrested for soliciting prostitution again. After being placed in youth housing again, she was charged with violating probation, rather than soliciting prostitution. A.J. ran away a third time and was again charged with violating probation. A.J. was then detained pending plea. After admitting to one violation of probation, A.J. was placed in a placement home, then ran away yet again. A.J. was arrested for a final time and committed to a state-run youth center. A.J. appealed, seeking for the orders adjudicating her delinquent to be vacated and for a Nevada law protecting minors engaged in prostitution to apply to her.
