Your Legal Rights as an NCII Victim in Nevada

Nevada NCII Law Overview

Applicable statute: Nevada Revised Statutes § 200.780 (Unlawful Dissemination of an Intimate Image)

Criminal penalty: Category C felony (1 to 5 years in prison and up to $10,000 fine)

Civil remedies: actual damages, injunctive relief, and attorney fees

Nevada classifies non-consensual intimate image distribution as a Category C felony, one of the strongest criminal classifications in the US for this offense. The penalty of 1 to 5 years in prison reflects Nevada's determination to treat NCII as a serious felony rather than a misdemeanor. The significant $10,000 fine also provides meaningful deterrence and civil remedy potential.

Federal Rights Under the TAKE IT DOWN Act

In addition to Nevada state law, the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act (47 U.S.C. 223a) gives you a direct right to demand removal from any covered platform within 48 hours. Covered platforms, those with 10 million or more monthly US active users, face FTC enforcement with civil penalties up to $50,000 per violation per day if they do not comply. ScanErase's biometric scan finds every platform hosting your images, so you can file the formal notice yourself.
