Defining prostitution as a crime.
Prostitution is the act of performing a sexual or lewd act in exchange for money or other compensation. To be convicted of prostitution, you do not have to be caught in the actual act. Several situations apply, including:
The use of undercover cops, video and informants creates the likelihood that the opposition will make mistakes.
- Loitering with intent to engage in prostitution
- Stopping, waving at, or attempting to engage in conversations with drivers or pedestrians in an attempt to solicit customers
- Receiving money after performing sexual acts
- Agreeing to perform sexual acts once compensation has first been offered
The stakes for prostitution are high.
Often, prostitution is a misdemeanor offense. But the crime of prostitution does have serious consequences including jail time, fines, probation, and HIV testing. It can tarnish your reputation and make seeking legitimate employment more difficult.
What an experienced San Diego prostitution attorney can do for you.
Just because you are charged with prostitution, doesn’t mean that you are guilty of the crime. If you inadvertently strike up a conversation with an attractive man or woman in a club, you could be charged with patronage if that individual is a prostitute. Or, due to an undercover sting operation, you may find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or sometimes, you may be unexpectedly solicited for money after a sexual encounter. We’ll work to prove your innocence.
Take the first step in your defense.
You don’t want the stigma of prostitution on your record. You don’t want to go to jail. You don’t want to pay fines. So don’t delay in calling the Law Offices of Elliott N. Kanter at 619-330-5881 for a no-cost, no-obligation consultation. We’ll look at your case from every angle to prove your innocence.
