Prostitution-Related Crimes

My law firm defends clients charged with prostitution-related crimes, which may involve:

• Operating a massage parlor, brothel, or escort service that offers sexual activity in exchange for money
• Pandering, which includes recruiting and soliciting prostitutes
• Prostitution, or offering sexual activity in exchange for money
• Patronizing a prostitute
• Promoting prostitution by operating a prostitution business or Web site, or soliciting clients

People use the Internet as a hub for arranging prostitution-related activity. Web sites like Craigslist.org are used for advertising prostitution, posing as massage parlors and escort services. The police are well aware of this means of advertising, and are responding through sting operations and other methods of identifying and arresting those suspected of a crime.

Penalties

The penalties for prostitution-related crimes vary. A first offense for engaging in prostitution is a disorderly person offense that could result in up to six months in jail. Soliciting a prostitute on a first offense can lead to six months in jail, and a second or subsequent arrest can result in up to 18 months in jail. Contact our firm for more detailed information about prostitution-related penalties.
