Nevada's age of consent is 16. There is a close-in-age exemption: sexual activity with a 14- or 15-year-old is a lesser offense if the defendant is less than four years older, under Nevada Revised Statutes Section 200.368.
Nevada requires comprehensive sex education that is medically accurate, inclusive of LGBTQ+ identities and relationships, and includes consent education. The mandate is strong for the region. Nevada has updated its sex education requirements to reflect current standards on inclusivity and medical accuracy. Districts must cover contraception, STI prevention, and healthy relationships.
