Las Vegas Man Sentenced for Sexual Assault

Justin King, a 37-year-old Las Vegas resident, has been sentenced to a minimum of six years and up to 20 years in prison for attempted sexual assault and coercion. The Nevada Attorney General's Office handled the prosecution due to a conflict of interest with the local District Attorney's Office, as King is the son-in-law of an DA employee. The crimes occurred in May 2023 when King offered a ride to the victim, then kidnapped her and attempted to sexually assault her. Attorney General Aaron Ford expressed that justice has been served and extended thoughts to the victim during her recovery. The case underscores the profound impact of such crimes on victims, as highlighted by the victim's statements in court. Kings's conviction reflects the serious nature of the offenses, categorized as category B felonies.
