Statute
Nev. Rev. Stat. Ann. §179.247
Survivors can vacate convictions for offenses except “crimes of violence.” Survivors must demonstrate in their petition that the offenses were committed as a result of the trafficking. If a court grants the petition, it vacates the conviction and seals all documents and law enforcement records related to the arrest and prosecution. Nevada law also allows survivors to consolidate petitions that would otherwise need to be filed in more than one court.
Nev. Rev. Stat. Ann. §179.2445

If the prosecuting agency does not join bur does not file a written objection within 30 days, the court may vacate the judgment and seal all documents, papers and exhibits without a hearing. If the prosecutor files an objection, a hearing on the petition must be conducted. At the hearing, unless an objecting party presents sufficient evidence, the court shall vacate the judgment and seal all documents, papers and exhibits related to the case.
