examination reports were prepared in this case, there is nothing in the record indicating that SANE examinations were performed on the victims and the victims testified at the preliminary hearing that they were never examined by a doctor. But even if such reports exist, we disagree with appellant's contention that they were exculpatory. See State v. Huebler,
128 Nev. 275P.3d 91, 98 (2012) (concluding that a defendant may challenge the validity of a guilty plea on the ground that the prosecutor failed to disclose exculpatory information before entry of the plea), cert. denied, 568 U.S. ,
133 S. Ct. 988(2013). Appellant argues the reports "may have contradicted the notion that actual intercourse had taken place between [him] and the two child victims" and that "a lack of findings and/or an intact hymen would have been exculpatory." As he pleaded guilty to attempted sexual assault and lewdness, see NRS 193.330 (defining attempt); NRS 200.366(1) (defining sexual assault); NRS 201.230 (defining lewdness with a child under 14 years of age), the findings he proposes would not necessarily have exculpated him of the offenses. Further, we are not convinced that appellant's purported inability to contact his family is a substantial reason justifying withdrawal of his guilty plea. Accordingly, we ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED. / , J. Hardesty Parraguirre Cherry SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA 2 (0) 1947A s 1 • cc: Hon. Kathleen E.
