Carson City man faces lewdness and statutory sexual seduction charges
An 18-year-old Carson City man faces criminal charges of lewdness with a minor and statutory sexual seduction.
Nathan Andrew Bailey, 18, is being held on $52,500 bail after being arrested on June 16. Charges include lewdness with a minor under 14 years of age and statutory sexual seduction. According to a Carson City Sheriff's Office arrest report, a 12-year-old girl told authorities that she had been having sexual relations with him for several months.
Bailey was first investigated on June 15 for probation violation and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Subsequent interviews, including a phone message from the girl's father, and an interview from the victim led to the arrest.
Following an interview with the victim, Bailey was brought to the sheriff's office and an interview with him was recorded. Investigators read him his Miranda rights and, subsequently, Bailey signed a Miranda Rights waiver.
During the interview the man said he had indeed been involved with the girl after meeting her at a Dec. 20 party. He admitted to statutory sexual seduction with the 12-year-old several times. He said in the interview that he knew the victim was young but didn't know she was 12-years-old, and stated she told him she was 14.
