Defend Yourself Against Solicitation of Prostitution Charges with the Help of a Skilled Attorney
Prostitution is deemed illegal in California as in other states; thus, engaging in it is a serious offense. The court can sentence first-time offenders to jail time and impose massive fines. If you are charged with solicitation of prostitution, a seasoned solicitation attorney in Los Angeles can assist you. With the help of an experienced lawyer, you can avoid the severe consequences of a conviction that can ruin your reputation and affect your future opportunities. Start by scheduling a consultation and discuss your situation with your attorney. After hearing your side, your attorney can develop a defense strategy to help you achieve a positive case outcome.
Understanding Prostitution and Solicitation
Prostitution refers to the act of providing sexual favors in exchange for monetary compensation, drugs, or other types of goods. It is unlawful to either sell one’s body or purchase sexual services from another person. Therefore, if you are caught in such an act, you need the help of a skilled attorney to defend your rights.
Soliciting prostitution transpires when an individual offers sexual services or initiates a transaction for it. For example, a man who loudly and clearly declares that he is willing to pay anyone for sex is committing solicitation. Similarly, a man who approaches a woman on the street and shows her money is also guilty of solicitation. Women who make sexually suggestive statements to male passersby or dress in provocative clothing while pacing up and down the street can also face solicitation charges. Both males and females can peddle sexual services and be liable for solicitation charges.
Penalties for Prostitution Solicitation
A first-time offense for solicitation of prostitution may result in a six-month jail term and a fine of up to $1,000. Even if the offender’s request is not heard or cross-examined, the authorities may charge him with attempted solicitation. The punishment for attempted solicitation is a fine of up to $500 and a jail term of up to three months.
Ways an Experienced Attorney Can Help
An experienced solicitation attorney in Los Angeles can help you by easing your burden and listening to your story. The attorney’s mission is to protect your rights and prove your innocence despite the opposing authorities’ attempts to prove your guilt. Your attorney will review the case thoroughly to identify any flaws and inconsistencies like entrapment, improper procedures, cruelty, failure to read Miranda rights, and others that can be used to your advantage.
