Prostitution & Solicitation

Serious Allegations Requiring Aggressive Defense

Facing a Prostitution & Solicitation Arrest? What You Need to Know:

Prostitution and solicitation charges (Penal Code 647) are aggressively pursued in Los Angeles through undercover stings and Internet investigations. Both “Johns” and alleged providers are targeted, and even first-time offenders can face life-altering consequences, including fines, probation, jail time, and a permanent criminal record.

What Are Prostitution & Solicitation Crimes?

These charges can stem from in-person stings, escort or massage operations without permits, or online communications. Prosecutors only need to prove that an agreement for sexual services in exchange for money existed—even if no act occurred. Recorded calls, undercover officers, or electronic messages are often used as evidence. With repeat offenses, California law allows penalties to be enhanced, making legal defense critical.

Potential Penalties Include:

  • Fines and court-ordered penalties
  • Jail or probation
  • Mandatory community service or counseling
  • AIDS testing requirements
  • Loss of employment opportunities
  • Public record as a sex-related conviction
