LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A judge sentenced a man accused of sex crimes involving at least three different women to six months in jail followed by probation, according to court records.
Lavontae Stuckey, 21, was accused in three separate cases involving sex crimes against women within six months, the 8 News Now Investigators first reported.
Las Vegas Metro police previously referred to a pattern in their cases against Stuckey and wrote that they “establish a propensity for violent sexual assaults with a firearm.”
The victims were identified in police reports as sex workers.
The police department also released information about Stuckey asking other potential victims to come forward.
Jail records show Stuckey will be a free man in February 2025.
On Tuesday, Clark County District County Judge Monica Trujillo ordered Stuckey to serve six months in the Clark County Detention Center, attend sex offense-specific counseling, not possess or use drugs or alcohol while on probation, maintain employment,
have no contact with the victim in the case and have no unsupervised contact with minors or vulnerable persons, according to court documents. Trujillo also required lifetime supervision for Stuckey as a registered sex offender.
Trujillo placed Stuckey on probation for five years once he served his jail sentence. If Stuckey violates his probation, he may be required to serve a prison sentence ranging from 2-10 years, which Trujillo suspended.
Stuckey pleaded guilty to attempted sexual assault, a felony. He was initially charged with 10 felonies, which included three counts of sexual assault with the use of a deadly weapon, two counts of sex trafficking, first-degree kidnapping, sexual assault,
robbery, first-degree kidnapping with use of a deadly weapon, and attempted robbery with use of a deadly weapon.
In a previous case, Stuckey pleaded guilty to false imprisonment, a gross misdemeanor, in November 2022, Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus sentenced Stuckey to credit for time served. Stuckey was initially charged with second-degree
kidnapping with the use of a deadly weapon, a felony for an incident in July 2022. A woman said that she had met Stuckey on the dating app Tinder and they agreed to go to the parking garage at the Strat hotel, according to an arrest report. She told
police that Stuckey then locked her inside the car with him, demanded oral sex and claimed he had a gun.
Another woman told police she was engaging in prostitution at an intersection near The Orleans Hotel in June or July of 2022, Stuckey pulled up in a black Cadillac and agreed to pay $80 for oral sex, police said.
The woman also said that Stuckey parked in The Orleans parking garage, demanded oral sex, locked her in the car, acted as if he had a firearm, punched her in the mouth, advised that she was going to work for him, demanded money, and sexually assaulted
her, according to the arrest report. Stuckey eventually unlocked the doors and the woman escaped, she told police.
She also told detectives that she saw Stuckey’s license plate on Twitter where other sex workers cautioned that Stuckey was raping women, according to the report.
The woman identified Stuckey in a lineup, police said. The arrest report also pointed to Stuckey’s alleged “repeated use of violence against his victims” that has compelled them to “perform sexual acts on Stuckey against their free will and out
of fear for their lives.”
The month after Stuckey was sentenced, police arrested him again. A woman reported that Stuckey sexually assaulted her near Tropicana Avenue and Arville Street by The Orleans, just more than two miles from the Las Vegas Strip.
The woman told detectives Stuckey pulled up next to her and two other sex workers and asked for oral sex in exchange for $100, according to an arrest report. After he pulled into a parking garage, the woman said that Stuckey demanded oral sex without
paying, told her that he was a pimp, and that the woman would work for him as a prostitute.
She told detectives that Stuckey advised her of “rules,” including that she would stay with him at the Cosmopolitan hotel to work as a prostitute, post advertisements online to get clients, and that Stuckey would provide “protection.”
Stuckey then threatened the woman that she “would now be his prostitute or her would shoot her,” according to the arrest report. The woman said Stuckey kept the car doors locked, demanded money, and then sexually assaulted her. After convincing
Stuckey that she needed to stop at Chevron, she locked herself in the bathroom and called for help, according to the report.
In an interview with police, Stuckey admitted to picking up the women, according to detectives.
