Prostitution & Solicitation
Prostitution and/or Solicitation can be a serious criminal offense. One look at today’s headlines will give you all the information you need on our society’s attitudes toward prostitution and solicitation. Though some would argue that both are victimless crimes, both California’s laws and its zealous prosecutors think otherwise. A conviction for prostitution or solicitation in Los Angeles could not only endanger your reputation and your career, but could equal stiff financial penalties and even serious jail time.
Prostitution laws vary depending on the circumstances of each case. Unfortunately, sting operations and undercover officers are becoming more and more common. Even if a sex act is not performed, the intent to perform such an act can be construed as a crime and prosecuted aggressively.
The penalties for prostitution and solicitation can carry overwhelming consequences. More devastating and more serious are the lifelong consequences of a prostitution-related conviction. Personal relationships can be destroyed, professional licenses and memberships revoked and future job prospects sullied. You’ve spent a lifetime building up your good name, so don’t throw it away without a fight.
