Prostitution, an issue in the United States since the country’s establishment, has been deemed illegal, with individual states enforcing punishment for engaging in the act. The state of California operates with a strict statute in place against prostitution, allowing law enforcement officials to arrest suspects on grounds of loitering with an intention to commit prostitution, even if such intention isn’t accurate.
The specific statute for prostitution in California is Penal Code 653.22 PC, which prohibits loitering in public places for purposes of engaging in prostitution. As per the law’s provisions, those accused of loitering with the intent of prostitution only face a misdemeanor charge that entails imprisonment for up to six months and a fine not exceeding $1,000. You can present legal defenses, such as entrapment, or insufficient evidence of an intent to engage in prostitution in a court of law.
If you face the possibility of being charged with prostitution, it would be to seek legal representation to have a shot at presenting a strong case. Consulting a competent attorney would allow you to arm yourself with potential defenses against the intent-to-commit-prostitution charge.
Our firm specializes in handling cases of loitering with the aim of engaging in prostitution, and we have vast experience in handling such sensitive cases. To determine the course of action in representing you, schedule a consultation appointment with one of our associate attorneys today. During the consultation, you will present the facts surrounding your arrest and charges. Law enforcement officials have leeway to bend the prostitution statute unfairly, making our legal representation essential. If you choose our firm’s ethical policies, we will provide formal legal counsel at a fixed price, every step of the way as you fight your charges to establish your innocence or receive a reduced sentence. We will be thrilled to take up your case as you proceed with life free of legal burdens.
Very diligent, organized associates; got my case dismissed. Hard working attorneys who can put up with your anxiousness. I was accused of robbing a gemstone dealer. Definitely A law group that lays out all possible options and alternative routes. Recommended for sure.
